All I did was replace the 4 bulbs with some #194 LEDs. Nothing else done. Paid $2 each

Thanks.

The're supposed to be from a 2004 Blazer. At least that's the way they were advertised. I took the 60/40's for another truck and sold these to a friend for a hundred bucks.
But he didn't finish the build they were going into (a '68). When I got RAT, I asked him what he was going to do with the seats. Two days after I asked, he brought them over....
...wouldn't take the $100. But, he and I are waaaay past keeping score. Since we don't, we're always "even".

I only asked him for the c-note, originally, because we were all there when the guy that was delivering the seats had his hand out waiting for the green My pal asked,
"What's my share?"....He got these for about 1/5 of the total cost 'cause that's the way we roll. Sweet "turn around" that he gave them back to me four years later, huh?

The mechanicals for the belts are about seat-back high bolted securely to the posts. I used radio knobs on the manual winders, although they are properly set up and retract just right.
I just didn't have room on the belts (length) or on the floor. Looks okay. Pretty low profile. But understandably, it would absolutely make the "correct" guys cringe.

it looks good, and if they work right , what else can you ask for. mine came out of a 1985 gmc , and are red, but they work good in mine...yours match your seat great...cool idea.

You guys inspired me tonight. I hadn't really night-tested the brightness of the 168 ambers I put in the dash. These pics are with only three 168 ambers and
one stock one. I couldn't get to one with my big ham-sized Popeye forearms...;)

Anyway, I don't know what 168 Nokya hyper-bulbs are. I know it was $40 including shipping for four...which I thought was steep. Hope they last.

Maybe these pics will help someone decide whether or not to do the switch.

Re: " Making The Correct Guys Cringe "

Less than you think ~ a thing of quality is a joy to behold and your seats and belts plus speakers , carpeting etc. all look very good indeed :metal: .

Besides , you're the one paying so who cares what others think ? :mm: .

Me , I wheezed it to work where we had Shop Cleanup (hard works for an Old man) then I went to Pep Boys & got two oil change kits , drove home , swept the driveway and hot changed my oil & filter then drove it off to Sun Land for an old car gathering of The Faithful .

I put my new bumper on my truck today. It had a 71-72 bumper on it when I got it 6 years ago and always wanted to get the correct bumper. I had some bodywork done to the fender back in December/January so the old one came off and I figured nows the time to make a swap. I have been riding around without a bumper because I was waiting on some warmer temps to paint the backside of the bumper, but I finally have it on now.

DISCLAIMER: ON

I'm only posting every day because I'm out there working on it every day. If I get too loud, someone shut me down.

DISCLAIMER: OFF

Today, I finished plugging the leaks in the new electric fuel pump set-up, re-installed the carpet and tank cover, after adjusting some of the in-cab wiring.
Fuel delivery system is now fresh from the tank filler to the intake manifold.

Went to start it. Perfect fuel pressure (I have a gauge on the line)..."crank, crank, crank".....After three years of every once and a while non-starting,
this non-start helped me finally figure it out. The (new at the time) manual fuel pump was sh*%. Pretty. But sh*%......

....And, I wasn't getting a full 12v. After checking at the battery, I had 10.4v. I checked because I put the meter on the electric choke that wasn't closing.
That's what it read. Then, the same reading at the battery. I put the charger on for about five minutes and "Vooooooommmmmm!"

Went for a ride. Wouldn't shift properly. Trans fluid leak.....And, I looked under...New rear main leaking. Aieeeee!!!!!

Oh, well.

Ground out the old cracked and weathered seam sealer in the drip rail, sanded, and resealed. Should have been done 20 years ago and is the cause of about half of the rust that it has. Hope the rain/snow holds off long enough tomorrow to let it cure enough to sand a couple spots smooth and shoot some primer over it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I tried to start the '67 to move it out of the garage so I could replace the radiator in the '92 K-3500. The 454 in the '67 wouldn't start, I think it is a fuel problem.

I decided to use my 4 wheeler, Kawasaki, to pull the '67 over to a carport.

Finally got the '92 in the garage and removed the old, leaky radiator.

Had to stop and help my brother work on the hydraulics on his little Kioti tractor.
