Hi Denny,
Saran Wrap.....I buy the BIG pack....once a week and nobody would ever guess. When it gets dull, wrinkled, or I drive over 40, it peels right off! Cuts down on wash jobs too! USN (65-69) In reality it's called "Dove Gray" Chevy truck color. Guilty...although I preferred teaching "powder-puff" auto mechanics...the ladies were more attentive!
9/11/05 to 8/10/06...40-60 hrs/wk 1400 hrs. (obsessive compulsive behavior)the trucks are my therapy!!!!
Yep...my wife said it was "either the truck or me!" I miss her.... sometimes!
Ubetcha on the 3/4 ton....now that's a truck. A guy's just gotta remember that "its the journey and not the destination" that keeps us burning the midnight oil. Trying to figure out our own ways of solving all the little problems that these old girls present, keeps us off the streets and out of mischief.
On a more serious note....you want to check out the frame on your seat...especially on the driver's side where it gets extra stress. I had to wrap a band of 1/8X1/2" band metal w/pop rivets to replace a good portion that had just rusted away. There's also a union of the round band at the top of the seat that rusts away. I just made a sleeve out of 1/4" steel fuel line...crimped it down and a couple wraps of duct tape and she was good to go!!! You'll probably want to order hog rings as I couldn't find any locally.
I went with LMC as they had the pleated cover...a bit more pricey but I like the look.
Also the foam backing was stitched on, so it looks fairly smooth.
You haven't got an L-19 in the barn, have you?
Take care,
Dave
