NEED Help and Advice for a 1979 C10

[Tattooed]

I know I am asking a lot here at once but I do appreciate all the help and input in advance.


Interior Questions:

1. I want to put bucket seats in. What would be the best or should I say best fitting buckets to buy and the same goes for the frames?

2. I need some floor patch panels. Is there a site that people have experienced have better products than others for 79 Chevy's. I know Brother's has them but thought I would check with some of you before I purchase?

3. Overall, where would you guys say the best online store is to buy most interior parts? I need a new dash pad, new gauges, new carpet, new door panels, etc. You get the point. I have been to a bunch of different sites but does anyone have some good points on one over the other.

Exterior:

1. I need new headlight trim, new grill, new headlights, rollpan, and especially all new window seals for both exterior and interior. Where's the best place on the web to go for this stuff as well?


Lastly, what advice would any of you give to a guy who is about to undertake is first Chevy truck project? Any tips or tricks will be appreciated.

go to www.73-87chevytrucks.com. The owner of that site sells many of the parts your looking for. As far as buckets they will be tough to find but get some factory ones for your truck, anything else is just a hack job.

I just started working on a 1979 C10 also.

after that id go with LMC - but its hit and miss with quality.

Had good luck with Classic industries (used to be called Chevy Duty).

I know those seats speak for them selves, but those are sexy! I'm a big fan of real sport seats. A fold down middle seat might compliment that finely.

LMC sells reproduction stuff too

I'm planning to find the narrow chair out of a Volswagen Touran.
