Re: The Old Bench Seat

Yep, this is going to be a BIG project for me. With my truck chopped 3.5 inches and sectioned 2.5 inches the seat has to be pretty close to the floor.

I sectioned the seat frame down that is welded to the floor as much as I could, I think it was only about an inch and a half, something like that.

And yes I shortened the back of the seat so it wouldn't be up in the window.

I saved the seat spring and foam from the back seat of my Caravan, I may be able to use it, pretty thin. But I am going to be trying some of the multi foam layers as discussed here, we will see.

I am not ready for this, it will be quite a while before I dive into that project, lots of body work first. But man oh man this thread has opened my eyes to some ideas, thanks guys.
