Also, since your seat bottoms fold forward & give you nearly full access to the space under the seat it makes me think that if the spacing of the seat support frame and those rods had been planned right, you MIGHT be able to find some shallow plastic bins that would just drop in and work to keep things from rolling around. Any plans to make wood or fiberglas storage bins for those areas? Just an outstanding job on your install! |

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck

I also had them sew up a matching headliner and was $250 shipped for all 3 pieces. The door insert is hammerite spray bomb in a dark metallic gray not vinyl. The cotton batting is a really light and fluffy material that came on a roll from a local fabric/uphoulstery shop supplier. Its only about 1/2 mabey 3/4 but you can grab and pull it off the roll and make snowballs with it by wadding it up. It really is simple but I had the same reservations too. Pm me and I can walk you through it or call you and explain it better than I type Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck
Wow. Thanks for the link. At the price you quote in definitely gonna try them. I expected little in the way of choice but I'm impressed with what they offer.

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck
The staples won't just pull through and tear the vinyl/fabric? Interesting idea. I'm thinking the plywood would have to be at least 1/2-5-8" thick? Fairly close spacing on the bolts holding it to the seat frame(?)

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck
So the plywood is one piece? NOT four separate pieces, right?
Newfisher: I probably asked you this already but you just sprayed your door panel trim with metallic silver paint, right? That's what I did on my two tone door panels but I was just wondering. Pic of my door panel below. Quote:

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck
no hog rings will tear before staples will. I use staples on motorcycle and smowmoble seats. that is how most origanally were done. If you don't trust a stress point adda little 3w weather strip adhesive{good contactact cement}

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck
Choady....I'm a fan of the sticker
Dan.....4 seperate pieces of wood, easier to deal with. I've seen them screwd down and also through bolted then staple the seat material to the board. Hog ringing works just fine though. Throw away the c clips that the factory held the material with as they do more damage cutting the vinyl when installing them. Yes, I'm a copy cat. I stole your metallic chrome bumper spray bomb technique. Pm me your paypal addy and I will tithe you the royalty Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Let See Seats On Your 55-59 Truck
The seat wasn't that bad until I started working on it and it got worse.. The new cover will look the same but with my last name stitched in the middle
