You need to find a trim guy , that can make that seat flat , as it should be.
I like the rest of the truck , except the white walls.
Word of advise, you have to seal the underside of the bed wood to prevent damage.

1. The seat is flat

2. The wood is sealed on the bottom.

3. I'm glad you like the truck!!

It's getting a lot of attention. I'm not sure it will make it to the end of the auction. Have a few good offers on the table already

I have no interest in the truck but I am curious about how these ebay auctions work . Is the reserve for example the 21500.00 buy it now amount ? Help a dummy to understand these complex matters of higher finance .

Not most of the time. The reserve is a price (set by the owner but not visible) that is usually under the "Buy Now" price listed on the item.

Every time I see an extraordinary Buy It Now price, like this one, the bidding seens really suppressed. There's a considerable difference between the current market and the level of the BIN number. Hopefully you'll find deep pockets somewhere.

I probably should have not put a BIN. But oh well. Frankly I have had a few decent offers, but I also may keep it if it doesn't sell and finish it up myself.

I know ya redone the seat but did ya also do the door panels? And if so why not the kick pad panels? Do ya still have the old ones and could they be used as templets?

Finished the motor. Kept the 272 but bored it out to a 292 and 292 valves. Has pretty good compression and runs good. Sold the truck before it was completed. Sad to see this one go.

That bed came up well. So hard to find decent road signs nowadays. Heheh. I ended up just sticking some old plywood down out of frustration. Better than nothing, but she aint nice like yours
