Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Thanks!! Pretty excited about having more time for the seats. I just took a frame and tracks out to the shed. I have a lot of sandblasting to get done, to get caught back up. But it will have to wait until then.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Congratulations on the pending retirement! Thirty years for one employer is almost unheard of these days. It's a great idea to see some of the surrounding countryside and fund it by working on your hobby.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Thanks!! I also hope to bring home more seats that need restored, while we are on these trips also. What I really need to do, is find me an enclosed trailer. The newly restored seat can travel in the back of the Colorado, it has a cap. My trailer is just an open trailer, but it would nice to be able to keep the seats out of the rain and away from thieves.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
How far would you be willing to travel to deliver one?

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Just the surrounding or bordering states of Ohio. As I said in the above post, I would be willing to meet part way, not necessarily deliver. And there would still be a fee involved, but it won't be as much as Fedex charges.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Did my own Black Friday shopping. Went to Kentucky and got 2 seats for restoration, and a few other parts. I also found a super nice set Charcoal seatbelts for my truck, too bad everything else on the interior was gone, including the seat!! They just got this truck in a few days ago!! The outside of the truck looked rough, but the interior was obviously clean!!
It was so nice, sunny and 55!!

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
It was!! No crowds, it was quiet and a nice sunny day. We did go to our local Best Buy for a few things, it was early evening. I don't know why people want to get into that big crowd, thats no fun. Best Buy still had PLENTY of all the Black Friday items. I wanted to get a backup camera for my Colorado, it has a cap, so when it's packed with seats I can't even see thru to the back. It is hard not being able to see when I'm backing up out of somewhere.
I work at Honda, so I have really gotten spoiled with all the SUV's having backup cameras.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
Did the C10 3 point seat belts ever come in black or is charcoal the closest thing to it?

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
The Charcoal is the closest to it. The Charcoal is pretty much black, in my opinion. So they can be used in a black or charcoal truck.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
This seat is for a Suburban, so it is a non-tilt Seat. Didn’t even have time to put it completely together, because it sold right away.

Re: Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered
It also got new foam. And it has the correct Suburban tracks, they are very similar to to 81-87 tracks.
