watahyahknow · 11-05-2008, 11:23 AM

the workmanship is real nice but the buttons arent my taste

grinch4om · 11-06-2008, 04:49 PM

yeah buttons are dated but you gotta fill the holes with something and the fire truck used them

82stepside · 11-06-2008, 07:52 PM

Sdavid,nice truck! So what kind of seats are those and can you provided a picture of the seat from the floor level, so that you can get a longer view of it, etc. You know how we can be when we see something diffirent.

Nice truck agian!!!

sdavid · 11-14-2008, 10:06 AM

Thanks for the compliments. I am not Stacey David, but I always think he might be a long lost cousin. My first name is Stan.

Not sure on the model or brand name of the seat. It is a fold down middle console type, but moves up and back like a solid bench.

Last couple of pics I got of the seat:

The seat will not go back as far as a stock bench will, so I got to look at that closer.

I guess that's what keeps me from trying harder to score one of these type seats. I always hear they don't go as far back as the stockers, but I need the legroom.

I used to pass through Savannah a lot on my way to Memphis. Very pretty down there. Plus you guys have one of the best civil war sites I've ever visited.

Lucky for you, you're about an hour west of one of the best truck fab shops in the country.

SBTork, I got the decal from the woodward dreamcruise in Detroit. Gm was handing them out left and right at their boths. This last cruise (2008), they did not hand them out. I got one 2006 and 2007.

nice truck for 500$..

bondobob · 11-25-2008, 02:08 PM

Here's my plow/dump/back-up vehicle I just bought for $800 with the plow. It has a crate 350 with 10K on it and a 4 speed. Blew a brake line on the home so I'm doing a quick rebuild on all the brakes/lines/hoses. My son calls it "Project Blue Hair" Ha Ha. I'm doing a 57 Hot Rod so that's my real love. As a side note, is there any truck more American than these Chevys? I looked at all the pics and some I liked and some I hated but they're all cool.
