Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I went to Pick A Part today and got a seat from a 91 Chevy truck, and a gas tank from a 77 Blazer. What a ***** it was getting the gas tank out. Everything was rusted, and no air tools. It took me 3 hours to get just the tank out. The seat fits with out any modification. It sits flat on the floor, and looks just about the right height. A lot of work but worth the $50.00 for the seat & $80.00 for the rest. Another score!!
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The tank has a hole in it. That's how a Junk Yard empty the gas tanks. No biggy, I'll just weld it up. I got the tank with the sender/pump, and the rock shield too. ![]()

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
There was a guy at the shop my dad worked at years ago. He had a gas tank that needed to be welded. He set it on top of a 2 inch steel bench, crawled under the bench, lit the torch, and waived it in front of the fill neck.
![]() When the tank fell from the ceiling back onto the bench he had no fumes left in it. You can inert the tank by filling it with CO2 or Argon gas. That should flush all the gas fumes out, but still be careful. |

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I love the look of that seat. It's the first one I've seen that looks darn close to the original style but has the modern benefits. I'm not going for a 100% stock look but want to stay really close to stock. Nice score!

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up
I always liked the look of the 91 seat. All the ones I have ever seen seam to hold up really good. Most seats I've seen has the foam collapsed at the outer edge of the seat. Plus they look like tuc n roll. That's how I'm going to have them done when I do the interior. I'm thinking of Red leather like material. But will depend on what color I decide to paint the truck.

For the grill I thought of putting black mesh with bullets, or chrome cabinet pull handles. Or maybe a Chevrolet script on the black mesh

Can’t get over the quality of the pictures (almost as good as my Wal-Mart throw away camera).
