Re: Dug's 1959 Fleetside
Well I sure hate to here the problems with the seats. You may want to check the mechanical seats out of an S-10 pickup or the electric ones out of a Blazer or third generation Camaro. All are substantially lower than the TB seats. I purchased a 2003 Trailblazer EXT that was a rollover. Got the complete frame and the cab body like you did (windshield posts and right behind the back seat). I had hoped to incorporate the bulk of the firewall and the floor pan into my truck to use as many of the Trailblazer parts as possible, so it is good to see the column and brake systems may work. The seats looked like the ones you have, and the carpet was in great shape, so I thought I was all set (uggh). I will be bringing the cab of the 55 and the TB frame home after the holidays. I plan to start a slow build thread then (the 58 vette will be the primary focus until finished). Have a great Christmas, and I look forward to seeing your progress in the new year.
