Re: new member 1st post 59 apache
Super sweet truck, great job! What seat is that your using, looks really comfortable, and looks to fit the truck perfect. Do the seat backs fold forward?

Re: new member 1st post 59 apache
Your truck is beautiful and I know you are happy to be headed down the home stretch. Do you happen to have a pictured that captures the entire side of the truck like the shot you posted in Post #98? If you have it and don't mind, would you post such a picture (perpendicular to the side of the truck - not at an angle- capturing from front to back). Thanks.

Re: new member 1st post 59 apache
For what it's worth I believe the seat is an "strato" bench. Optional in GMs from 66-70? Possibly 71,72 on some models - but in 71 they started moving into more plastic and high backs. Fairly popular in Riviera, Toronado, Eldorado.
Beauty is they look and feel like buckets, have nice sweeping lines and look great from every angle with nicely finished sides and back. Buick and Olds had higher trim (foam, fabric, detail) levels but same shape was available for Pontiac and Chevy. Seat back release came without button, button on side and button on back. Early ones had no button. Buick, Olds have nice metal side and back trim that can be painted to match body and have a touch of chrome - looks nice. Pontiac and Chevy may be metal also but I've seen plastic. Headrest was optional beginning 1969 (I think). Ashtray on seat back/base behind armrest. If anyone nearby is interested I have one from a 1967 riviera (green) in great condition. Width is 54" and is just a little too off center for my '72 - looks like it would be great for earlier trucks or later if re-upholster could add a couple inches. My '72 bench is 57" wide. |
