Re: Show us you're seats
(note: sorry if the posted pic didn't come with, I'm referring to malibob's question about likearock's seat)
not sure if you ever figured out where this seat or cover came from, but I think I recognize that seat cover, it looks a lot like the original on my 1985 K10 Custom Deluxe. I remember it pretty well, I sat in that seat for 270K miles (bought it new) had the seat rebuilt completely once. The guy who redid it matched the original for me almost dead on. I can't see if that material in the pic has a fine textured finish on the pleated part, mine did. The color and the layout of the pattern looks to be the same as mine. That could be a squarebody seat, right? |

Re: Show us you're seats
Here's the deluxe/full foam seat for the '65 Dad built using a powdercoated frame and NOS 64-65 cloth.
The original seat was in rough shape so we found this one to recover. I wonder what decade it was recovered in?! ![]() ![]() New vinyl, NOS cloth. ![]() Blasted/painted the tracks. ![]() Laying out the material for trimming. ![]() Making patterns off a finished seat. ![]() ![]() Burlap and thin carpet so the springs don't eat into the foam. ![]() ![]()

that old '85 truck of mine broke in half, after commercially plowing snow for 17 years...been gone now almost 10 years, so I can't look at it, but your seat cover sure looks familiar. By the way, that's a great looking interior ya got. |

Re: Show us you're seats
Thanks, the paint color is '03 Nissan Sunlit Sand, code EVO for the interior. All the paint is the same, it's just the lighting and two different cameras making the paint look like different shades. I used Spies Hecker basecoat reduced 50%, then added 15% hardener. The hardener adds a nice sheen and a fair amount of durabilty without having to use a flattened clear which would make the metalic in the paint look milky.

Re: Show us you're seats
Procars with a custom console. By far some of the most comfy seats in anything, well worth the big pricetag. Increased leg room, back support, and since I've had 3 bones removed from my back, its strangely one of the few vehicles I can do longer hauls in.

Re: Show us you're seats
Not sure what it came out of but it is comfortable. The back is a 60/40 split.

Re: Show us you're seats
MisterC, are those 67-72 seats? Did the seat base line up good? I know the 66 GMC came with buddy buckets, wasn't sure if 67-72 seat base mounts up well. Nice seats!

Re: Show us you're seats
Anyone know what's good in a late model bench that would fit a 1965 C10 60/40 split, solid, or with a folding arm/ center console. No buckets cause I like my girl to snuggle up to me in the truck lol

Re: Show us you're seats
They are the 66 GMC buddy buckets. Mounts lined up like they were made for it.
