Got my seats back from the Upholstery shop - PICS! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Mountain Man · 08-23-2002, 09:39 PM

These factory original buckets/ console will be great for my 67 shorty. They were in bad shape when I bought them, but now they are totally rebuilt. I sanded and painted the frame that they sit on. I will be installing them tomorrow morning . Will post more pics of the install.

And could not resist a quick shot of the front of the 67. Love that front GMC grill

Benrs86 · 08-23-2002, 09:40 PM

beautiful

REPO1 · 08-23-2002, 09:55 PM

Awesome!!

71402BB · 08-23-2002, 10:12 PM

Looks Great!

Longhorn Man · 08-23-2002, 10:14 PM

looks...perfect.

lux hauler · 08-23-2002, 10:17 PM

Those are nice!!!! Kinda makes me wish I wouldn't have sold the ones I had.

Mountain Man...... are those seats adjustable?
The ones that I had were bolted to a frame and the frame bolted to the floor with no adjustable seat track.

**Tim Christian** · 08-23-2002, 10:43 PM

Man those LOOK GREAT!!!!!!! I hope I can make these look that good.

Mountain Man · 08-23-2002, 10:52 PM

72C10_Ohio - The drivers seat slides on a factory track that is on the base of the seat. The Passenger seat is fixed to the mounting frame without any slide.

Tim Christian - My seats were in as bad, or worse condition than yours. They are definately fixable.

barn9 · 08-23-2002, 11:02 PM

Lookin' good! That looks like the same material I used on my bench seat, and I love it. Wears good too! Can't wait to see the pics, of course I always like seeing pics of that purty silver GMC! Good job on the seats!

1967LWBstepside · 08-23-2002, 11:20 PM

Beautiful!

Where did you find those? I wonder if they would bolt right into my '67 Chevy?

Nice work.

Hooter · 08-23-2002, 11:21 PM

Nice!! (im talking about the second seats the red ones LOL)

*Zkast* · 08-24-2002, 01:22 AM

lol Hooter.

Man those are some nice seats though. Nice truck too!

stllookn · 08-24-2002, 02:21 AM

Those seats look great! Got some in my truck that are nearly perfect...looking at yours makes me want to take mine and do them in leather...see what you done! BTW your truck looks incredible too!

SWINGSAX68 · 08-24-2002, 02:57 AM

WOW!!!!HOW MUCH????
what type of material did they use on the center parts of the seats, and is that vinyl or leather on the outer parts....What color is that....looks like charcoal grey on my monitor.
Nice truck....I could hardly make out the bumper...it almost looks like the whole truck is like chromed....

MarineNav · 08-24-2002, 07:29 AM

Those are freakin nice! I like the color too! Is that leather and tweed?

snow man · 08-24-2002, 09:18 AM

your seats look great can you post a picture of the drives side seat slides ? i got a set here to rebuild but they were already apart and the drivers side has no tracks so i would like to see what is missing before i try to fix them. thanks snowman

justin · 08-24-2002, 09:19 AM

SWEET LOOKING SEATS AND TRUCK!!

*racedvl* · 08-24-2002, 10:21 PM

I like the plywood under the truck idea. Hehe. Also the seats are looking nice too.

Zurbo · 08-25-2002, 12:00 PM

Lookin' good!

Cheesewagon · 08-25-2002, 02:52 PM

Very, Very nice! Hope someday I'll find a set for my truck. By the way Great looking truck too.

Longhorn Man · 08-25-2002, 03:29 PM

LOL... I didn't even notice the plywood...I been doing that for years.

Mountain Man · 08-25-2002, 04:37 PM

Yep Longhorn - My oil pan gasket did not cure very well, and it likes to seep some oil when sitting for awile. I guess my GMC likes to mark its territory too. I have been avoiding resealing the pan, as it is a pretty minor leak. I guess I will have to get to it.

My starter died on me this week. Damn Delco remans. Had to shell out$85 bucks for a replacement.

Dean23 · 08-25-2002, 07:50 PM

They look great, wish I had a set of those for my 68. I think I might go with a short back bucket and eliminate the middle seat and just have my B&M pro ratchet on the fllor

**72 Super** · 08-25-2002, 08:00 PM

Those look great,bet they look better in the truck.As for the plywood I use cardboard its easier to move
