First, thank you for the wealth of knowledge I've gained while lurking in the weeds.

After my son and I took the grand tour of SoCal from Ventura to the Mexican border, checking over a dozen venerable C10's(best Father's day ever, by the way) we finally found a relatively unmolested '66 fleetside for less than my inheritance. (will post pics)

I now stand proudly as a member of this august forum without trepidation, and look forward to actively participating.

Rich,

Thanks, but as we all know: the devil is in the details. "Production" paint job and compression check = 145-145-143-145-115. ohwell

That said, I'm looking for a source for OEM material to mend the seat. Any ideas?

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
