Re: 1974 C20 Soon to become a project...

For the seat, I have two choices. At at 6'3", comfort and getting the friggin steering wheel out of my lap and face is a priority:

1. Reupholster the existing seat with new foam that has lumbar support built into the contour and thigh area and a lower section under the arse, similar to the images below.

2. Find a 60/40 split bench and have it reupholstered. What I save in foam and additional labor at the upholstery shop with the 60/40 is off set with the time delay looking for a good 60/40 that just needs new threads and the cost/time modifying the mounts.

Shooting for Black Leather and Gray Tweed look.

For the steering wheel, I am finding either 14", 16" or 18". My '98 Silverado has a factory 15" wheel. The 14" aftermarket wheels are too small and the 16" and 18" are going in the wrong direction. Push comes to shove, (not a good phrase to use in a build... bad JuJu!) I can go with a 16" and let the contoured foam compensate for the additional inch.

Still have time before I need to pull the trigger. . .
