Judging by the pic on LS1TECH I'd say it's a good place for a pic of the wife

they are modeled after the C5 vette seats, but more padding for comfort...they were custom made, they didnt come in any car/truck..

They look like the 'Street Scene' brand you see in magazines & on-line. Is that how they shipped or did you get them covered on your end?

68 short step · 06-02-2008, 04:04 PM

yes they came covered when i received them.....ill have to look at the name of the place i got them from, but it wasnt street scene..... i picked the style and the color, and gave them some $$...about 1 mounth later i received them, just like scene in the pics

NPilot1975 · 06-02-2008, 05:26 PM

I have the same seats. When I bought them they were Steel Horse, but that company went out of business or was bought by someone else.

Steel Horse..... That's what they were. I guess I was thinking Steet Scene because it was a SS advertisement.

68 short step · 06-16-2008, 11:01 PM

still chipping away at it....
sandblasted/painted my headlight buckets, installed new halogyen lights, with new trim rings.....installed my new door handles, and the underdash A/C heat system (still need to route the ducts to their proper spots), and installed the A/C vents....

BACKYARD88 · 06-17-2008, 12:21 AM

Man that truck looks clean Don. You should be proud! I'm not usually a big fan of black(it's not easy to make a black truck look straight) but I'd say you've pulled this one off perfectly!

Wow- sharp eye! My supercharger belt broke, so it was waiting for the new one to come in. Had her poised and ready to go for the install

jj_adams319 · 06-24-2008, 05:10 PM

Nice progress Don. Is Chad gonna lay down some flames?
I finally got mine done. I'm sure Chad could have done just as well.

kyull67 · 06-25-2008, 01:00 PM

Looks good man! I think we're at about the same stage in our short step builds.

jay-dawg · 07-13-2008, 12:36 PM

68 short step · 08-16-2008, 12:15 AM

not to much progress here.....
got the matching dark grey dash pad installed, the polished machined aluminum radio opening, and the rear tail lights installed.....
im working on the A/C heat control face plate....the classic auto air one was small and cheap looking....so a new one that'll fit the opening is being made.....here is a sneak peak at it getting modeled.

watahyahknow · 08-16-2008, 06:00 AM

piecesparts · 08-16-2008, 09:41 AM

If you would bring that thing to the Midwest All Truck Nationals, in Kansas City next month, I would pay your entry fee into the show. I have been trying all Summer to get to Tulsa to see it and have not been able to get free. Come see us at the show.
