Pictures of Newly Upholstered Seat and Split Exhaust

I am happy with the results of the seat for my first try. It is not that hard just takes patients. I think the dual exhaust and carburetors will look good together. Yeah the garage is a mess it needs to be cleaned, gets a little better every time I put something back in / on the truck.

Nice! Everything's looking great. The bench seat is looking sweet ... old trucks just aren't the same with bucket seats.

The dual exhaust and dual carbs should be nice too. I have plans of doing dual (or maybe triple) carbs and dual-exhaust headers on my truck's 223 OHV six someday.

I bought the seat covers from the place below. I did make some additions to there kit. I bought extra burlap covered the springs with it first. Then I added an extra layer of 1"foam. Then I used there kit to do the seat covering. Do yourself a favor and buy a good set of hogring pliers.

Nice seat. I wish Labaronbonney sold covers for 53s'. I haven't found a stock looking cover anywhere except at Mid-Fifties.
