My buckets and console are finally in!!

I just have seat covers on the buckets to help them match better for now until I decide to have them upholstered.

The next step is interior paint and weatherstripping later this month

Here are the links to the pics

What I WAS sitting on

Console down

Console up

Looks good. Are you going to cover the seats to match the console?

I've got my console on ebay for sale.

That looks really really cool....
I love you door pannels too!!!

Chevychic,
looks really good, one question though, where did you get the chrome door handle backs for your door panels?

**swervin ervin** · 10-06-2003, 10:02 PM

Before you get excited and think I'm talking about the console I built, it's not. It's the console that came with my seats. It's just like Heather's only black.

Anyway, here's the link.

On the chrome door handle bezels, the dealer still sells them. I just bought two for my new door panels.

Thanks!

I picked those up at Walmart for $19 for the pair

Destructo · 10-08-2003, 08:27 PM

Would you care to elaborate on what had to be changed to get those buckets in there? I assume they came from a burb? I'm thinking about putting buckets in my 85. And also is there still the same amount of room behind the seats? I'm going to put a couple subs in mine so I want to make sure there would still be room.

chevychic · 10-08-2003, 08:34 PM

These came out of a Toyota Corolla. The center console is one I purchased online.

Brackets were made that attach to the frame and then others were welded to the cab floor to compensate for the shape.

There's more room behind the seats now and because of that, it makes the cab feel a little bit bigger.
Although I'm used to putting my arm across the back of the seat when I'm backing up and looking over my shoulder. Now I grab for it, but it's not there and I end up looking like an idiot.

Destructo · 10-08-2003, 08:40 PM

hehe, I think I may get some from a burb, I never seen a chevy truck with toyota seats in it before. Their probably more comfortable than burb seats hehe. Wonder if I swipe the leather ones from my dads 97 burb if he'll notice hehe.
