Re: Restoring Rusty
I always sigh a little when you extol the virtues of badge less ness. I like reducing clutter on my rides, but I guess I do like the distinctive markings these rigs came with. This nostalgic moment brought to you by LT7A. I'll be quiet now. Carry on, and good work on the door.

There is also a Summit Racing distribution center coming to our area next year, which means next day delivery or free pickup. And the facility will include a 32,000 sq ft (!) showroom/store. Can't wait. |

Re: Restoring Rusty - Seat Cover
1 Attachment(s)
so I was thinking of re covering my bench seat this winter when I spotted this in the LMC Truck catalog, $900 dollars for a seat cover? Have they lost their minds?
and don't tell me that's because it is leather, cause it is not at least not 100% of it |
Re: Restoring Rusty
What a deal

Re: Restoring Rusty
Oh, I suppose I could actually include the link to the site I'm talking about. I have no idea how good they are, I found them here and saved the link to my bookmarks because I knew I would be needing them.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Looks like the fabric or vinyl upholstery is more reasonably priced

I tried doing my own with my mothers old sewing machine and watching some u tube videos. Sailrite upholstery supplies has a good video on doing a truck bench seat.It was actually quite easy.Here is a picture of my first try on my old car.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Had a guy quote me a ballpark price of $800 to make a close copy of my original 1982 cover. That price includes installation and any MINOR repairs to the seat. I've used him before and he does very nice work. He has a Chevelle with seemingly (seamingly?) perfect copies of OE seat covers and carpet he sewed up himself. He hates pre-made covers because he usually has to modify them.
Another guy who does decent work quoted me the same price. But he's got a "price creep" reputation, where a $350 job becomes $450, etc. |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Love this thread. I bought one of the LMC covers for my 84, if I ever get that far. Bought carpet, and a headliner kit. Bought the dye to redo my door panels and some other stuff. If I have a problem with the seat, there is a guy close to me I'll take it too. He done a complete interior for a friend of mine on a 34 ford for $1350. He's done several for him and does a amazing job. The guy on here that does them really does a nice job and is very reasonable. If it wasn't for shipping that seems to keep going up. Keep up the great work on the truck, look forward to seeing any updates.

I know this isn't truck work, but if I aint organized I just can't think straight, so this was my make shift portable (house to house) workbench with drawers solution
don't be fooled the garage looks clean because I moved all the crap to the other side to take the pic, ha ha that stain in the middle of the floor is complement of my old steering box, gosh darn power steering fluid is nasty stuff it ate through the topper wear bin it was in |

so I visited my buddy Big Al and found out he had not one but two step side beds he was looking to git rid of, both was from 1975 he thought
one was an orange CHEVROLET kind in really good condition, the other a GMC one with a gaping hole in the floor for a trick spare tire setup Al was working on but abandoned the build since Rusty is a pure bread GMC, guess which one I opted for but hey for $100 bucks who can complain? |

the metal is actually nice and solid, no rust holes, and its all there, well other than the rotted floor, and the missing one or two 2x4s going across where the hole is, ha ha

Re: Restoring Rusty
SAWEET!
My Spidey sense says you need to take 14" from behind the cab, and 5" at the end of the frame rails. |
Re: Restoring Rusty
i wouldn't even bother fixing a scratch that small. only noticeable if you know where to look.

So what do you all think, do we keep them crazy frenched in tailights or yank them and weld the holes back up smooth and mount the standard round Mickey Mouse stock tailights?
