Re: Ol Yeller - 71 Cheyenne SWB BB

Well Ray, we've finally had a bit of a cold front come through the state, so the highs are only in the upper 90's instead of the 1 teens we've been having. So I spent quite a bit of time this weekend stripping the interior.

The bench seat had TWO build sheets - one behind each cushion.



I always hold my breath a bit when I take carpet out because of the surprises you can find. In this case, the surprise was a good one - the floors are in excellent shape. There is a bit of rust in the lower passenger kick panel and the rocker panel where they join. No surprise there as I had already seen that.



I took the seats apart to get the build sheets out without damaging them any more than they were. The seat back foam is still useable but the bottom one is not so good. I'm going to be putting buckets in anyway. The seat frame of this rascal looks like new - the springs are in great shape and the frame still sports it's gloss paint.

This week I'll be taking the buckets to get new covers put on them, replacing the a/c ducting and start putting it back together.
