thanks J , keep your eyes open. Truck looks good !!!

 

Just got a call from the upholsterer, seat should be ready next week!! And Dennis Carpenter parts coming in the mail sometime soon, weatherstriping etc..

 

Who is doing your seat?

 

Juan at Whipple auto body in Hayward . Should be done soon

 

Looking forward to seeing how this goes - good inspiration for my future build. Subscribed.

As a side note, when I was living in CA I had a '65 Chevy van that came out of TX had similar roof rot. I guess its the salt air that gets 'em. Out here, its the salt on the roads eating everything away. "Iron moss" is what I seem to recall it being called back in the UP.

 

The seat came out just how I envisioned ! It's super comfortable, and looks great!

 

It's coming together Great. I still need to get my Seat and Headliner- Got got my Creative juices going. Thanks for getting me pumped.

 

wow everything looks great , makes me wanna do another ole ford truck

 

Seat looks great.

 

thanks guys, im pretty excited about it,

 

Seat looks perfect!

 

Very cool!

 

Your seat looks cool. He did a nice job. I would like to get mine done the same except with red instead of black.

 

Looks great...

 

I was wondering if this was normal for front reverse eye mono leafs ?


Look how close they ride to the frame

 

I'll have to look at mine tomorrow............

 

Would appreciate it..

 

Just checking in, looks good!

 

I installed reversed eye springs on my '60 and it looks pretty similar, albeit my springs are not mono's.

 

seat looks great who did it for you???

 

Yep mine looks just like that.

Later,Bill

 

Here you go.

 

Thanks Bill. And Thanks johnboy..
