Re: 87' 4x4
Just read thru your build thread, very nice! Is this the truck that the seat will go in? I’m a little nervous now, I see you did your interior in Firethorn. But Firethorn is a component of CarmineRed, when mixed with Portola Red. This is what I had to do, when SEM discontinued 81-83 CarmineRed. But now, USA1 Industries has all our correct colors of dye. Can’t wait to see the seat installed! You have done an excellent job on your truck:metal:
On a side note, I can only see a small portion of the seatbelts laying on your seat. I’m assuming, that since your truck is an 87, your belts are Burgundy? |

I think you’re right though. The seat belts and sun visors are the stock color and look more maroon or burgundy. I also bought new door pockets from LMC a couple years ago and they seem to match pretty good with the Firethorn red even though I didn’t dye them. I’m thinking about getting new door inserts also. |

You'll have to post pictures with the new seat. I'm sure it is going to look great! You and I have great taste in steering wheels. Just put this in the '71 I'm working on for my wife.

Finally got my seat in. TKCR did a great job restoring it.

What took so long is I decided to get rid of the subwoofer and amp I had behind the seat. The speaker box left an indentation in the old seat and didn’t want to mess up this one. Also wanted the room back there to put stuff. I ordered a powered subwoofer to mount under the seat. I was thinking I could just screw it to the floor somewhere, but I forgot how un-flat the floor is.

Doesn’t have as much bass as before but sounds pretty decent. Plenty of room behind the seat now.

Here’s a pic of the brackets. Used some 1/8” strap metal from Home Depot.

Seat looks awesome!

Re: 87' 4x4
That turned out great. Was your foam in Good enough shape to reuse or did it get replaced?

Here’s a picture of mine, it was just like yours. I didn’t keep it for very long, after it was recovered. Just didn’t like how it turned out at all. Last pic, is my seat now. Fully restored the frame/tracks and hardware, just like yours. |
Re: 87' 4x4
Yep. That first seat is similar to my old one. The gray looks nice in yours.

Still driving the old truck. Latest mods are switched from 3.42 to 3.73 gears and Detroit True Trac front and rear. It does killer donuts now.

Re: 87' 4x4
Nice:metal:

Re: 87' 4x4
Heck yeah! You probably don’t get much snow down there. Have you run at speed in 4hi after the front truetrac install?

I went up and down the beach in 4 hi. But probably didn’t get over about 20 mph. This was first time I put it in 4 wheel drive since the trutrac was put in. You can tell it’s there in 2 wheel drive when you turn a corner. Sometimes the rear tires chirp a little when you accelerate out of a turn. |
