Did some work to go back to original!
Got my seat covers and foam from truck seats for my blazer. I think they look 100 times better in original upholstery. Also swapped the aftermarket steering wheel for an original in my 72 sierra grande. I think it looks much better.

Re: Did some work to go back to original!
Agreed! Very difficult to improve on the factory look, but some try.

Re: Did some work to go back to original!
Ugh, I have that same ugly steering wheel you had, hate it, thanks PO! Those originals cost a fortune though, you can pretty much get a whole parts truck for the price of an original. Seats are gonna be better in the summer too, I'm not an all original advocate, in fact I'm the opposite but I am an advocate for improvements and I'd say that's excactly what you did. Looks good man!
