    We do have a bench seat in fair shape,Matthew is looking around for bucket seats for his truck,later on today we will get photoes of the bench seat its now in Matthews truck we would be interested in trading straight across for your bucket seats if your interested. If you could take some pitchers of them and we will do some trading friend:) .

    Your box is looking good! did you french the tail lights or??
    I drive a step side so I have never seen a fleetside with the tail lights out.

    Its getting harder to find decent parts for these trucks up in Canada, the winters have been hard on them. I got lucky and found a texas truck with minor surface rust, only dings to remove.

    Cheers

    Morton, I dont have any bucket seats. The seat that I have in the truck is out of my brothers 95 GMC. I would still like to buy it if you want to get rid of it. We are supposed to be going to St. Louis, Mo. next month. Maybe I could get it then, if you still want to sell it.

    Jermey we would be interested in You buying the bench seat thats Matthews seat, Matthew said You could have it for $50.00 dollars since you helped us out with the 283 motor for his 1966 c10 longbed,we are going to be taking that motor to get rebuilt in a few wee ks from now and pay payments on it tell its payed in full it will be all new except crank shaft and block:) . Matthews truck is going to be transformed in a few weeks from now with help from a good friend of mine and Matthews too, its John (Convertible 1966 chevy) we are going to lower Matthews 1966 c-10, shave the door handles,:rolleyes: ,fuse the cab to the bed and make Mattews truck into shortbed fleetside:cool: . It will be done right by a expert he will help us learn along the way how to do this. Matthew wants the truck like this so it will be like this, we will post pitchers on here to show finshed product lookes so sweet.:cool:
