70 Custom--It's HOME

[Manny]

Well there "par" at best.....strong,but still require alot of grinding Can't bring myself to spend big $$ on a nice gas unit

A good welder is twice as good a grinder. If he doesn’t do any grinding it is because an apprentice is behind him with a grinder

[67mann]

here it is complete

[sargentrs]

Ta-Dah! Great work, Jerry!

[FoPAR]

Did you have any sheet metal on this truck that you didn't have to do any rust repair to .... nice work man

[67mann]

NO and I've had to sort through parts to figure out which had less rust Still have 4 door's to make a good set

[basketcase0302]

Jam' up job Jerry!

[67mann]

Well I dove into the cab and started fabing up my (dodge minivan) bucket seats


This is what the original bracket looked like


I had a little modification to make

On the inside track...I'm gonna weld up a cpl of washers to reinforce the sheet metal...so nothing left but drilling the holes

Patched the nasty speaker holes



The patch under the window was for Not sur how to describe what the PO did ....it wasn't pretty

without a shave....with a shave

and with a filler coat


More grinding and body filler today and then

Razor's still sharp

I can completely understand that. I retired my truck from service as a truck the day I bought it. Like you no trailer queen but also no rain or cold days. I am going back in with a heat / cool unit more for the sake of it than anything. I want the AC but seriously doubt the heat will be used. Are you closing anything up across the front of the dash? I will be smoothing mine all out and mounting the radio under the passenger side of the seat. Naturally it will have a remote.

I have a few Ideas for the face,but will probaly wait till I have actual componets to make any changes.
Although just got my taxes done and there in my favor ....so the vendor shopping trip is coming soon

[basketcase0302]

so the vendor shopping trip is coming soon

Bump shopping! Other than hunting type stuff-bout' the only shopping I really like to do! Can I tag along LOL!
Those seats look real comfy Jerry, no place for the G'Kids car seat?

[67mann]

Bump shopping!

Yeah I think Ron Francis will be first in line....gotta have a harness to fire up that motor

Those seats look real comfy

There not bad...probaly not the best route(can't utilize much of the recline and keep the mount's right)for our trucks,but they were payment for a snow plow job....so I've got next to(if you could see the driveway) nothing in them. The foam is good....probaly have them recovered

no place for the G'Kids car seat?

Well Jeff...by the time this thing see's the road,Haley probaly won't even need (6 in July)a booster seat and Joseph.....well not sure about him but,I'm just a Big Child and THIS IS MY TOY

[basketcase0302]

I hear ya' on the GKids man, The way my story is going "hers" will be grown before I meet "her" LOL!
Hey I found another truck I see you've been working on, (evident by all the welding)?
It has a pretty nice seat in it too.
