One fine ride! What an awesome ride! I love the interior and how well it all blends together! I know you'll be anixous to hit the local weekend car show and shines! The best part? Spending quality time with the ol' man! Man, I miss that! I'd give anything to do that again with mine! Congrats on an eye-catching ride! Ken
Interior pics Just a couple of pictures of the interior panels. I used ABS plastic door panels, kick panels, one piece head liner and rear cab panel. I purchased these from Chevsofthe40s. The door panels fit perfect, but i had to pre fit and do a little trimming on the other pieces. Make sure you do this before covering the panels with your material of choice. Also, the seat came from Discount Van Truck. Its a 40/20/40 low back Lotus style. 54 inches wide.
Okay, I guess we'll have to wait patiently for the ride along video... Thanks for the interior pictures and where you got your materials! (I was wondering...) That is just a way-cool ride! I'm sure you can't wait until the snow is gone so you can fire that puppy up and hit the streets, no?
Could you give some more specific info on your seat, please? Like what year/make/model of van/truck? And when you installed it, did you have to move your steering column to line up with the driver's seat? I really like the idea of a 40/20/40 seat for my project truck. Did you make the console? Does it fold up for use as a third seat? Thanks again, and awesome job. Damon
New seat Sorry, I could have been a little more specific. The seat is a new seat from Discount truck and van. They have many custom seats available. Mine is the Lotus Low-back 40-20-40. The center console folds up, so you have three across seating. The bottom of the seat folds forward and there is a cooler in the bottom. Any of the different styles will work, but here are the specifics. I went with a low-back(high back won't work), 54 inches wide, 3" tall mounting bracket(sets your seat height and I upgraded to the simulated burled walnut center console. You can add heat, massage etc. The drivers seat is a little off center from the steering wheel but not bad at all. You could order the 52 inch seat if you wanted to be center of the steering wheel, but you loose it in the width of the center console. http://www.discountvantruck.com/truck40-20-40lowbackseats/truckseatsLotusLowback.htm
Thanks for the information and the link! I didn't realize it was an aftermarket seat. This is a great option if the budget will allow, I will certainly keep it in mind when I get closer to that point. Thanks again! Damon
