Strotter, NICE. I do like that idea. probably more of a saddle than a light tan, but I like the idea.

Was thinking of this exact seat in either black with saddle insert or vice versa.
Or like in the pic you insterted. A saddle with some black piping.
Getting close. I like the look of the seat in the below pic. Supposed to fit below the back window which I kind of like (not that big of a deal on that)

@rcrahn
Looked at quite a few samples and really didn't see anything that would go with the same green that was on the truck. Did see some lighter and quite a few darker though (thanks)

Thanks, I taped the ouside and shot the inside, taped the inside and shot the yellow outside. I used a single stage and haven't done the white yet. This is my first full restoration and had no idea how long this would take. I bet I spent eight hours taping that thing up and I'm not through yet.

I guess sense nobody else has asked I will be the one to. What size wheels and tires are you running and how much have you lowered it?

I think to keep things consistent do black seats with the light green accents, In that way it would not be too much green.........

What brand are those seats and where do you purchase them ? Please

rcrahn · 07-13-2011, 05:16 PM

Those seats look like the ones from Discount Van & Truck....
I'm looking at those myself. But my favorite really are Teas Design.....I had the chance to sit in some at a Goodguys show, so comfortable, you'll completely forget about the price.....
Been collecting many interior photos myself so here are some to look at....

$75.00 from a wrecking yard. They are going to be RED fake leather. They are out of a 91 Silverado
