Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Those buckets are great. Good choice over the console style.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Thank you I really like them. Aside from the added benefits of the console, and cup holders I am really happy with the design. One of the things I didn't really like about the stock seats was the lack of bolstering. Take a corner too tight and you could slide right off the seat! These new ones have some pretty nice bolstering to them, very comfortable while still holding you firmly in the seat.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
My Dad really outdid himself this time and overhauled the entire exhaust system. Including an X-pipe and Flowmaster FX mufflers. Truck sounds great, nice muscle rumble at idle, quiet at cruising speed, and really comes alive at 3,500+

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
I have to agree! That's some fine work indeed. If you don't mind and it's not a hassle, I'd like to see how he handled the pipes getting past the rear axle.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
It's looking great!
Bluebonnets and Buc-ees, sounds like a TX spring.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
Took me a long time, I hated drilling holes in the truck, but I completed installing the trim on the truck. Crazy how much of a difference trim makes.

Re: College restoration. My 71 c10
That'd be a real nail biter for me too. Totally worth it though, looks fantastic man!
