Re: Restoring Rusty
Why do you beat yourself up by ordering from Amazon. I like my parts from a tranny shop or engine shop. I,m sure you have your reason,s but I got tired of that game. Getting old so don,t like to do it more than once but that doesn,t work sometimes either .

Re: Restoring Rusty
so the truck sat in the garage for 2 or 3 weeks while I slayed it in my '54 and painted our perfectly fine oak kitchen cabinets... white! [pronounced: no time to work on the truck(s)]
and the texter side front tire went pretty much all the way flat... on the bottom I took it off rolled it around and usually I can spot a nail or a screw somewheres in the tread section right quick, but nothing this time, checked the valve and it was tight so after coating it in Windex and no bubbles, I took it to our vegan environmentally friendly fluid dynamics station, and still couldn't see any bubbles, what gives? is my Ex messing with me again !!! ha ha |

I've had more than one that when the cap was tightened all the way tight, it would inexplicably slightly compress the stem allowing air to purge. Different caps solved the issue. If you can't determine anything else, it might be worth dbl checking.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Thought I’d jump in here and check out the situation with your seat, since you sent me a PM. I can do you up a fully restored seat, and it would be a tilting seat. I see that seat is a non tilt. I’m going to go back further to see what color your interior is, or are wanting to got to. But you asked about Black. But here are some pictures of all the 73-80 seats I have done.

my interior is all black, and I am looking for an all black vinyl cover I do not want any velour or cloth the dilema is such that I am in Kalifornia and you are in Ohio so the shipping cost would ruin everything if you were to do my seat |

I can do an all Black Vinyl. They are fully restored. That’s the frame, tracks and all the hardware. I would highly doubt that upholstery shop would have touched your frame or tracks. They would have charged you $600-$650 to install a cover, and that’s it. I also replace any broken springs. I don’t just stick a block of foam in there, like I have seen done so many times.

are you saying $350 for a seat or just for shipping, sorry don't mean to be difficult that just sounds amazeballz, and yes shops quoted me $500/$600 for just a vinyl cover but they sow/make it not one that I would buy first Last edited by Gregski; 08-26-2021 at 09:09 PM. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
in order to disassemble the backrest first we must remove the 127 hog rings, carefully making sure each one is accounted for

Re: Restoring Rusty
then we gently liberate the cover from the foam, taking care not to tear it

Re: Restoring Rusty
then the foam can be removed from the frame, note how my foam is shot, hard to see in the pic but it looks like Godzila took a bite out of it on each side, I do have new(ish) foam for it
