I picked up the seat from upholstery shop and installed it in the 59 Apache. I did not have to do much on the seat but have done most of the work on the truck except windshield installation and now seat upholstery.

That is a wonderful looking seat. My son and I purchased a 1956 6400 a week ago. It will be our project. Right now we are removing all of the heater parts and interior parts. Mice got into the heater and created a big mess. I have all the parts sand blasted and am repainting. In any event, the previous owner welded in a pair of 2001 Suburban seats. They do not look bad, but weld them in? On the other hand, I would prefer an OE style seat, but I do like the 3 point seat belts on the Suburban seats. I will be cutting them out, and perhaps modifying the brackets to be able to bolt them in. Were those custom sewn covers or did you order them. Was there padding on the seat that needed to be replaced?

Thanks for a reply!
