Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb
 
thx. we are a little disapointed on the seat. the inserts shouldve been made wider and the grey almost looks white in the sun. the middle of the seat looks to open and plain.. but owell were just gona go with it. we got a good deal on it and it looks 100% better then it did!

Sunday:
went to u-pull it to get some misc parts and a VENT GLASS (passenger door was broke) for 25$. got a brake release, ac knob, 2 chrome door handle bezel, ash tray spring. Got 2 new 4inch pioneers in the dash and painted the air vents all black and dash chrome strip silver.

Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb
 
if your going with the 3/4 drop you will have to notch the bed above the shackle(unless you have the longer leafs,like on BIG10s)

mwooten92 03-08-2010 11:34 PM

Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb
