that seat looks really good in person! was wondering if or when you would show some pics of it on here! what two colors did you use to paint the headers on the blue truck, taking mine off today to paint later these week, they looked really good as well!

wow, good colour choice, that looks like it's going to be lovely.

thanks man...
Cotton brought over a maroon stepside bed that was very close to that color and after painting the cab, a chip from the old bed was pretty much a spot on match.

Clem,

That looks awesome. So I after seeing many of the two tone paint schemes with White tops I have discovered I masked mine lines wrong around the windshield. Oh well guess mine will be unique. Most people won't know the difference I guess.

Love that color and the original restoration. It seems like everybody is slamming them with bags and ditching all original stuff. Nice to see one like this.

didn't really know how that line met the windshield so i just curved it up towards it, hope it looks ok once the windshield is in. and thanks man, i too like the simpler truck builds.

Seriously, that seat has me drooling right now.
I was already to purchase set of Cadillac SRX buckets, but that looks so retro & clean. I currently have no seat, but I have the tracks....We need to figure this out!

sent you a pm, I bought some high heat grill silver paint going to spray some scrap metal to see how it turns out, good for 1200 degrees!

this last weekend we got to take a break from the routine and go to my all-time favorite car show... the lonestar roundup in austin. and i remembered my camera.

the best part of the roundup besides thousands of traditional hotrods and killer rockabilly music and great chow, is the people. all walks of life and no bad attitudes.

had a great time and met lots of forum members. really cool trucks... also a few pics of cool cars to follow...

Thanks for sharing...
Rian, check out the door art on the truck with the green wheels

Great pics....thanks for sharing. And where can I buy one of those 63 shirts!!

some more of the roundup... and 1 just for rian.
i roughly estimate that there were at least 70 trucks from our generation.
heres a few more...

Clem stop teasing him, as I have to put up with the crying, this side of the pond

Thanks Clem !!

You know just how to work my head ehhh?

Thanks for posting up. Always a pleasure to see and drool.

Wow! What a turnout, we're lucky to get 4-5 of our trucks at any shows around where I live.

and some more... sorry about being sporadic with the pics, trying to not let the boss see me having fun.

this is the last batch, promise. i took more but my shutter finger was getting drunk and the pics weren't very steady.

what this last group says to me is theres room in the old truck world for all types and we all have one thing in common... love for our truck. awwww

Sounds like the round up was a blast.

Clem I think you stopped at my truck and talked to some friends, I was out wandering around. They said somebody from Arkansas came by, if that was you I'm sorry I missed meeting you.

yeah me too, we will be back. you might think about heading north this fall...
austin is a very cool town but i was glad to be home.

thanks to all the guys that chimed in on here and it was good talking with the ones i met.
i went down with a buddy but i drove a nicely loaded bbw, baby blue, lwb 66 back home. get to do a frame up resto on it so be looking for pics soon.

that guy was super nice. he's standing next to his creation, see the side view above. the twin turbo setup, bagged to the max ride, dually rear, and tons of character, very cool. he had a fully bagged shasta trailer in tow and the bags on it were fed from the truck... too cool.

Great shots...maybe next year I will tag along !

Is the insert material on that seat OEM type material or something from the aftermarket?

if you're talking about cotton's seat...
its vintage, period tweed but not oem for our trucks.
