I hate to break this to you but I don't think that tire is salvageable.

Quit it with the burnouts.

[QUOTE=joe231;3885932]Thanks for saving me from the picture hounds John

how about some clean seats, thanks to Megan!!!
She scrubbed for hours

Those seats look nice! Are they out of a suburban? I have seen the fronts in a sub before, but I have never seen the rear seat not a 60/40. I would like to find some like those.

tswore · 03-28-2010, 11:46 AM

Ok, I think I figured it out. The bench for the back is a front seat, right?

joe231 · 03-28-2010, 12:05 PM

You are correct!
I got the buckets from my '89 parts 'burb and I picked up a matching front bench from the same era 'burb off of craigslist for $20.
The sub front bench doesn't fold forward, but I was able to use the hardware from the rear bench that came with the truck and make where it will now fold forward. The upolstery is kinda thread bare and worn, but it matches and down the road I will either recover the seats or convert to 95-98 seats.

Driveway Dreams · 03-28-2010, 04:05 PM

Seats look good Joe! Glad to see you keeping at it.

scotts62 · 03-28-2010, 06:32 PM

Looks like it's from a Camaro cause we have one that looks like that and don't own an S-10, I could be wrong though.

*highperf4x4* · 03-29-2010, 12:30 PM

Looks like a Camaro wheel to me.

Jonboy · 03-29-2010, 12:39 PM

The wheel could have been from a lot of Chevy cars from the 70's. Vega, Camaro, Chevelle (and Laguna), '76 Corvette, etc.

joe231 · 03-29-2010, 05:20 PM

Thanks guys!
I think I'll throw the wheel up on the classified section and see if anyone is interested.

bjcaldwe · 03-29-2010, 05:22 PM

It would be a nice addition to a bunch of projects.

joe231 · 03-29-2010, 05:29 PM

Billy,
you want the wheel?
Got any 15" tires?

bjcaldwe · 03-29-2010, 05:32 PM

If I didn't already have a wheel I would consider. I got one at pullapart when I was going to work on the 73 stepside. I picked up both the chevy and gmc horn covers. I am considering using the stock old gmc wheel, it just look pretty cool.

Nope no good 15in tires. I will end up needing some for a set of cutlass wheels that will be the temporary rolling stock on the gmc.

JohnC · 03-29-2010, 05:35 PM

Interior is looking good Joe!

DaddyMack · 03-31-2010, 11:22 AM

Just wanted to post that..lol..

SOOO this is where you have been hiding!! At least you admit to being from Oky, seems like my friends from Oky always say they are from Texas...

Looks great Joe! Looks like you are moving right along instead of taking the 2 year plan like I did..lol...

And how did it go to Destiny from Big Sexy?
