I have a factory seat I want to recover and install some this 60/40 seat will soon to be forsale. I'm going to installl factory ac so these chevy bowtie alum. tall valve covers will be for sale also . I guess what I'm saying is I'm going more for the fact look also I think I'm going to change the steering wheel also . what do you guys think????

I think it looks good both ways I am trying to get mine like you have yours now.I have the wheels but need the seat and steering wheel how much you need for them?

Very nice looking truck! I really like the look of your hood.

**smitty62** · 07-06-2004, 09:23 PM

I'm interested in the seat should you decide to sell.

72dually · 07-06-2004, 09:26 PM

I can only speak for myself, but those rallyes look very confortable on that truck, I think the paints happier too

Quagmire · 07-06-2004, 09:38 PM

i think the truck looks better with the rallys also, but have you sat in the older seats? not for sure what seat it is you have there, but i promise there is a world of difference between it and the older stuff. i'd keep the new one!

fast71 · 07-06-2004, 10:29 PM

ya this truck when I first bought it had the fact. seat but I want to go old school . Smitty ,I have already had someone ask about the seat that is real close to me but if he falls through your next . Kaycee , I would sell you the seat but shipping would be out of this world . the wheel i would take what i gave for it which was $30 + the ride. Jason after seeing your uncle's truck made me want to go back close to factory. I think I want to go with black insides also .. any thoughts on that.

fast71 · 07-06-2004, 10:34 PM

I also have the fact solid back glass . I'm going to lightly tint it and put it back in so I will have 2 sliders . anyone close by that might want one , I will not ship, i will give them away since i got them for free.

the rallys look a lot better. I would kep the newer seat, and AC would be cool

(no pun intended)

What is that seat out of? Looking for that type of seat for my '70.

weasel29gm · 07-06-2004, 11:54 PM

Looks good the way it is, but its your ride. Keep the seat and wheel thats your comfort zone. Wheels either or your choice,

You have a very clean truck there.
It is very nice the way it is.
I also like the look that you are considering.
Some idea's
Add the stainless strips around the front glass with chrome vent window supports and add a rear cablight.
The original seats really do look classy with the factory seat belts installed.

Just some ideas to throw around.
