Re: Fix and Sale 72 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 K2500
Finally got the seat installed this weekend. After removing all of the hog rings off of old seat and removing the listing wires I proceeded with cutting out two small areas of bad foam with a electric knife. Then cut out some new foam and attached with 3m 90 spray adhesive. After all was done with the foam I sprayed both sections with a light coat of 3m 90 adhesive then covered the entire foam sections with a thin layer of felt batting. Added the new seat covers that were purchased from RockAuto and went crazy with the hog rings. Seat not only looks good but feels really nice to sit on.
After seat went in I pulled the steering wheel to see why the horn was not working and to see if the upper bearing was bad do to a little slop in the steering. Found out the bearing needs to be replaced and the horn is fine, just had so much dirt and crud in there it was stopping it from making contact. Ordered a new bearing from Classic Parts along with a few trim plastic inserts for upper and lower trim attachment.
Spent the rest of the day banging out a few dings in the upper and lower trim for bedside and front fender. Then pulled string lines to do placement and tape on molding so I can mark reference points.
Sorry I am missing a few images in between the foam and seat finished, had an issue with cell phone memory. Fixed that issue this morning.
