Bench Seats, Having them Reupholstered - Page 8 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thanks, My interior will be black and gray. So I was thinking maybe the seat will be mostly Black (even the back and sides) with the gray in the center where you sit. the top part will be black also with maybe the center part gray. If I can get a pick of my seat I can explain what I am trying to explain. I do not know what color stitching to go with. Black or the color of my project truck. It is called sunburst Orange.I would be going with cloth fabric. If I were to decide to take the plunge, what price would I be looking at?

Thanks for all the work you do, John

Unfortunately John, that would be a custom cover, which I don't do. The Charcoal or Black would be the closest. On both colors, the center & upper band are darker, than the rest of the seat.
Top 2 pics are Charcoal
Bottom 2 pics are the Black

Thanks, The picture would work for me. What is the total price for you to this? Sorry ,I will not have a core for you.

Bellefontaine OH. About 45 mins NW of Columbus. I had a guy come up from TN, for a seat. We met at my Brothers place. He lives near Chillicothe, almost 2 hrs South from me.

**TKCR** · 03-13-2019, 08:27 AM

1977-1980 Carmine Red. This was done for someone local, for his 1979 Chevy. Fully restored frame & tracks. New foam was used also.

**TKCR** · 03-14-2019, 07:50 AM

Well the start of my retirement has kept me busy!! Just got another seat completed. This one, I will be meeting part way for the delivery, in Michigan.
Black Velour/Vinyl with New Foam.

85/Silverado · 03-22-2019, 10:00 PM

It's too bad you live so far from me I would bring you my seat and seat belts to use.

**TKCR** · 03-22-2019, 10:09 PM

Thanks for the offer

. But yeah that’s a bit of a drive

**TKCR** · 03-24-2019, 08:04 PM

Saved a couple seats from being trashed. These will make good candidates for restoration. Both are 81-87 seats. Went to Indiana and got them.

Where in Indiana?

I made another trip to the junkyard today for an inner fender. The pass side inner fender on my truck is really bad, rubs the tire and has hardly any fasteners left to hold it in place.

Decatur. It was about 1 1/2hr drive for me. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon.

How do you restore the slides? I´ve tried sandblasting but its hard to clean them afterwards. Been thinking bathing them in citric acid to get rid of the rust. I´m a little bit scared of removing the rivet in order to pull them apart. Any suggestions?

I don’t take them apart, I’ve got a system down now for sandblasting them. I spend the most time on the wheels and bearings, because those are the mechanics of the tracks. I move them just a little at a time to get everything cleaned of the rust. Once I’m done, I rinse them in the sink with the sprayer. Then blow them dry with an air nozzle, using the air compressor. Once they are repainted, and dried overnight, the wheels & bearings get lubricated. Then it’s just a matter of working the slides back & forth, getting the lubricant worked in the slide system.

Nice

85/Silverado · 03-25-2019, 08:57 PM

I got tired of falling out of the cab when I opened my door.. So I bought new seat.

**TKCR** · 03-28-2019, 07:41 PM

Picked up 3 more donors today. And a special surprise!! The Grille was laying inside of a Van, that was parked beside the truck I was getting the last seat from.

85/Silverado · 03-28-2019, 08:52 PM

Awesome grill. Mine isn't the original, I had it stored somewhere in 2011, went to use it and the grill was missing.

Are you selling that grill?

I believe it is sold already. Got several people wanting it. I do have bits and pieces, because I rebuild grilles also. Let me see what I can put together and I will Message you.

**TKCR** · 04-10-2019, 06:49 PM

Picked up 3 more seats last night. Started tearing them down today. Well this is one of The Worst, I have ever seen!! Words cannot describe, what someone did to this poor seat or what they were thinking, when they did this

The frame was completely broke in half!!
The only thing salvageable on this particular seat, were the tracks. Good thing I only paid $60, for all 3 seats.
