Sit Down and Shut Up!!

Started working on reupholstering my seats. I purchased covers and am having them put on professionally. I would have loved to do it myself, however high density foam sells for about $100 for the seat cushion and $50 for the backrest. I just paid $100 for someone else to do the foam work and seat cover installation.

I did remove the old cover and foam padding. Of course, there was the dreaded broken side spring on the driver side. This is the outmost spring that pretty much holds out the outside of the seat cushion.

It looked like the previous owner had a spikey ass! That or he kept forgetting to remove the screwdriver from his back pocket on a daily basis.

I also bought my carpet kit. Both items of course will not be put on until I have finished painting the inside of the cab.

Ok.. Here is an update as of 10/28/06. The new seat covers are on. I kind of have mixed feelings about just getting them done entirely at a shop. However, its the shops fault because about 3 different shops could not just give me a quote in person. They ALL had to supposedly see the seats even though the shops have been around 20 years. They should know what this bench seat looks like... for crying out loud. All the seats are just about the same for chevy trucks 1960-1980ish. So...anyway, here are the updated pics.
