EA69TRK · 06-27-2010, 07:20 PM

. Oh and i went to picknpull today and they had 5or6 trucks in antelope and only 1 in sunrise and another in back waiting in line but i didnt check the picknpull on stockton blvd. just to let you guys know and also i found out picknppull changed their policy where you pay the $2 to get in and you get your stamp but now rather then the stamp allowing you into any picknpull free of charge for the day you still have to pay to get in to a different one the stamp only applys to the one you got it from unless you sign up for there rewards card go figure.

67chevy1series · 06-27-2010, 10:31 PM

wow

67chevylongbed · 06-30-2010, 12:48 AM

Hey guys I am planning on getting some new seats for my truck. What seats fit well in these trucks and are comfortable? I am going to pick n pull this week, I think some seats out of a newer silverado would be nice. Opinions?

67chevy1series · 06-30-2010, 09:05 PM

wel u will have to customize a little but 96 silverado seats with head rests aare comfortable my dad is going to put them in his truck

EA69TRK · 06-30-2010, 10:49 PM

which picknpulls r u gonna hit up? and rick is right about the 96 seats and just about any seat will work as long as you're willing to drill the holes in your cab floor and if you do please remeber to reinforce were you put new holes and bolts for your own safety hate to see a guy my own age get messed by that

Yeah safety is definitely my first priority, I was just looking to see what other people were doing because I like the look of some of the newer seats in these trucks

67chevy1series · 07-02-2010, 02:14 AM
