Re: 1966 C20 LWB onto 1977 Suburban C10 Chassis
On the 5th of December, I decided to check the antifreeze level on the old jewell, which was good, I used straight water to hang it together. I suppose I need to start looking for a radiator that can cool that big block - the 1980 El Camino 3.8 Litre Cross Flow I have zip tied in place is not ideal - however it didn't overheat in september - But its a pain to pull the cap off of, and just wrong looking, and a half kinked lower rad hose isn't ideal -
I digress, when I jumped in It fired right up, but I noticed the large amont of rat's nest all over the floor... I knew the seat was bad when I tossed a mexican blanket over it, but Now it's just plain gross.
I had seen aftermartket repo seat covers on LMC and At Dan's Classics - but that just didn't seem right for this build, and I can always do it later!
Step One - gather the equipment:
1. 20.00 Goodwill Kenmore Sewing machine form taiwan, and the 70's
2. a "Walking Foot" attachment - 15 bucks at the quilt supply store
3. A few Yard of Vinyl, and A few Yards of Cloth, and a few yards of Batting.
4. Bite off more than I can chew.
This all started when I looked at some other threads with new seats... I have never done more than a Motorcyle Seat with an air stapler... We were in uncharted territory!
Before any work - this is what we are dealing with .
