Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Today I'm moving lots of vehicles and parts around to make room for the donor truck coming tomorrow. I uncovered my seat and realized that I haven't shown you guys it yet. It's the original seat cover from 62, had a couple small rips and tears plus a couple broken springs but I repaired all that a while ago, but it's in pretty good shape for being 54 years old. I will eventually redo it with a new cover and foam but for now it's plenty fine.

Very nice!, I thought you were just going to use an old bucket upside down.

Re: A 15 year old's project. Rusty 62 stepside
Haha you guessed right bill. I had to move the truck into the garage to make room for the '78 donor truck. I used an old bucket upside down since the seat wasn't in the truck. Only got to drive it 30 feet but was still the first time driving it and was fun.

Since I have lots of good parts to sell I should easily make my money back. Thanks, your right about the pride, once I'm done I'll be able to tell everyone that I built it from the ground up. Truly built not bought.
