Just wanted to share my "new" seat. My wife & I purchased a large cowhide while in an old gold rush town ( Columbia, ca) to reupholster my apache seat.
The last picture was shot in a shop I used to work at in 1997 ( grand prairie, Texas). The customers truck was basically stock except for the real cowhide seat cover.
I never forgot that truck & now I have my own. Funny how some memories follow you. We tried to get one with colors that coordinated with the cab colors.
I think it turned out great.

Now you need to find a pair of Texas Longhorns to mount on the hood!

I guess the photograph in your hand is the inspiration truck?
