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.

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.

62stepside longbox · 05-14-2016, 08:55 PM

It barely fit in the garage it's so long. Oh and the '78 should get here on Wednesday

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-14-2016, 11:09 PM

Tight fit in there! lol

Awesome that the donor will be there soon.

Nice work that thing will be a pile of parts before you know it!

But as we all know taking them apart is the easy part

Could not agree with you more

Johnny_Lamebridge · 05-24-2016, 09:55 AM

Nice progress!

You must've got a super deal on the donor truck after deducting all the spare change you found.

**66ChevyMax** · 05-24-2016, 11:14 AM

Nice work and I am digging your energy, it's contagious

the pride you have when you can drive this truck will be over the top.

Great job!!!!!

Thanks, haha yes There was even more change under the seat and floor mat.
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.

**TJ's Chevy** · 05-24-2016, 09:17 PM

Good job dude! Got a lot of work done!
