Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Got the '89 C10 60/40 split bench seat installed yesterday! Soooo much more comfortable than the old stock bench with worn out foam. The center console/armrest is great as well. It fit perfectly. The forward outside holes, 1 on each side lined up, then had to drill 3 new holes for each side. The passenger side frame fit to the right of the trans hump. The passenger side inner frame under the console mounted on top of the trans hump, no spacers, no mods , just new holes. Took a total of less than 2 hours, with lots of measuring, and double/triple checking.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Your right John. That seat wasn't available until 1995. Great seat. I'll be looking for that type seat when (or if) I get to that point but I'm going to try to use the back seat headrests (haven't tested to see if they fit yet) just because they're smaller and won't show as much through the BBW.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
How much more legroom do you think you gained by using the 91 seat? I know the seat backs are a little thinner on the 88-94 bench seat. I'm 6'-4" so I like legroom.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
hard to say,im 6'5" with the later 90s seat felt like i was all up on the steering wheel, switching to the 91 seat like you said is diffently thinner on seat back which got me off the wheel.so maybe a inch or so,ive seen where some guys cut a inch out of seat bracket as well to gain some room(88-94 seat)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
You guys are al probably right, I just went with what the guy I bought it from said. So, sorry for bad info that might throw someone off, but I am almost positive it's from a pre-1999, from the research I did, after that they took more work to install. This one was quite easy to install, and is VERY comfortable. I did lose about an inch of legroom. I had previously installed a tilt column, and when I did that I pushed it forward as far as I could, so I am quite comfortable with the steering wheel position.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Replaced the leaking water neck and looked at the header bolts but got too lazy to change the gaskets. lol Gassed her up and shortened the life of the tires.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Went a little too far. Pulled water pump, balancer, cover. Since I had headers and plugs out I figured I would find true TDC. Now all clean, painted and polished. Also posted parts in classifieds.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
MINI ROAD TRIP !!
Well, it was a trip, and it was by road. Got contacted by our import agent this week to say our bits had landed and been unpacked. Duties and shipping to be paid on collection. So Martin and I set off early, also to meet up with Paul Y en-route before collecting our parts from Ron. Spent about 90 minutes with Paul talking truck, especially his plans for Woody. ![]() As always we spent quite a long time chatting cars, imports and the state of the nation before collecting our bits and setting off. ![]() ![]() Managed to negotiate Ron out of a cool plate for my collection, from his wall. ![]() On the way back one of the landmarks I always miss out on photographing was this pub. ![]() One of the items we collected was our 67-72 rear bumpers. NOW QUESTION TIME.... ??? I never realized that there were more holes in them than the two bumper bolt holes. On top of that, I feel a bit pisssed off as there "extra" holes let down the chrome and the show...... It looks like the extra hole was laser cut, and the chrome around this hole is rubbish, or non existent. Any advice on my perception here happily accepted. ![]() This is the extra hole, and also there are two notches in the bottom edge on each side of the number plate recess. ![]() Up close. ![]() My total haul for today, included a load of window rubbers, and a set of door instep stainless strips as well as new door hinge pins. ![]() Tabitha for some reason attached the carpet box with a vengeance. ![]() ![]() After Martin left to go see to the dogs and Amanda, possibly in that order, I went to the garage to carry on figuring out the tow bar. Managed to get to a point where I drilled more holes and cut some metal away. ![]() Next up welding tomorrow. ![]()

There are little notches cut out on both sides too, that you can just see in the one pic. This is the receipt, I think it shows clearly what we ordered. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I installed some sun visors(didn't even have one for the passenger side) and a nice set of aluminum sail panels (polished them up a little) on my 66 service truck today. Got lucky on the visors, they are period correct and match my seat perfectly. My upholstery guy happened to have this matching set on his shelf lying around for years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Ok, I see you bought Fleetside/Suburban/Blazer rear bumpers for 67-72. I had heard they would fit the 63-66 Fleetsides.
