Ok, so while my cab and frame are off at the sandblasting place this week, I'm going to work on painting some pieces... I also want to do my seats... I don't want to have them done by someone.. I want to do them myself.. The ONLYYYYYY thing I'm having someone do for me is the sandblasting.. I'm doing everything else... where do I get the stuff for the seats? How do I know which colors is for my truck? Is it hard to re-stuff/wrap the seats? Thanks!!

As far as "how-to," this book will explain all you need to know:

cut away a portion of the sheet metal below the seat front so you have more room below

Put pockets along the front... great for stashing stuff! Best thing I did!

That's a great idea, Larry.

Do you have any pictures of what you did?

Hey Alan!
I had a local guy do my seats to my design and specs... I have two pockets along the front edge with elastic along the top. They work great for sunglasses, my cigars, etc. I also put in about 3" of foam padding in the seat and 2" in the back. A nice tan twead on the seat and back with a brown naugahyde accent. If I had known about the seat heater then I would've done that too!

Pics are at the bottom at my sig... no direct shots of the pockets but you can kind of see the top edge in the third photo from the bottom.

Excellent!

Thanks, Larry.
