Howdy! I'm one of those 67-72 guys but now I have an excuse to come over here and hang out! I'm buying a 59 Apache thats partially restored. Should be getting it within 2 weeks! Body is in decent shape.

Cab corners have been replaced as well as rocker panels, cab floor.
Firewall mostly smoothed.
New 350 with moderate cam and TH400 tranny installed.
Ford 9" rear.
Bed and front clip removed and ready for paint.

My first question is what would be a good seat setup for this truck? I dont care if its bucket or bench. That is the 1st thing I need to take care of. The interior is pretty shot but witha little cash and sweat Ill get it up to par!
Any pics with details about the seats (make/model) would help greatly.

I will post pics once I get the vehicle in my possession... Thx in advance!
