Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
If that's her ride, I'm curious to see what kind of "junk" you have.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
We always call our stuff junk not sure why but we have always said it that way.it might be a Canadian thing because when we go to car shows we hear a lot of people call there cars junk but they are not? I would never call anyone else's vehicle junk because really they are a work of art. we all put lots of time and effort into restoring our vehicles.My junk collection consist's of a 87 Buick GN,68 chev caprice & a 2013 CTSV wagon

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed an offset air cleaner in anticipation of running power brakes with a booster.
Repaired my Tonneau cover (One corner was broken so I replaced all four.) Removed the carpet to inspect floor pan for issues before installing sound deadener and new carpet. I was expecting a nightmare, and was pleasantly surprised that she only needs a very tiny bit of paint. Bill

************ I was going to mow my yard today but noticed that the tarp I had over my stored spare tire cutout fender was in bad shape. It was a job and took some time, but I unscrewed, pried, and cut that crate apart! The fender looks good and I was able to get it into the garage. I cut the crate the rest of the way apart so I could load it up and haul it to a dumpster I pay for. Only one splinter and I got it out with tweezers. ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yes it is better. Maby not as good as yours but mine did have fome on the bottom. I used some memoery foam to get by. It was not a full foam seat. And it lag room is pritty good. Maby a inch or two back would be nice.any one over 6 foot whould not like it. I drove it 40 miles the other day and it was pritty comfitable

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Oh okay I see what you’re saying now, it was worn out. Mine is an original seat but it’s not original to my truck. The seat looks good though, I like it. Too bad it doesn’t have cup holders. I desperately need some but I hate to pay the price for a console. But I’m sick of trying to work the clutch and gas with a drink between my legs haha

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
The old seat would still bring $50-$100 I wouldn't throw it away.The seat in my truck is mot the original, its out of something newer. Not sure what so I guess its off to the upholstery shop before long, but I still have to fix brackets so they bolt to the seat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I would of keeped it if it was a full foam seat. You cant buy the bottom foam for the ' base modle seat' you could have some make the foam, yes but it was not worth it to me. And the seat is already gone.
