I got the top half of the seat done and bolted seat in truck , then it started pouring rain so my day got cut short . here's the pics i still gotta clean up the bottom corners as ACME didn't finish the sewing all the way.
tip for anyone doing this by themselves , when putting the seat back to the bootom seat put a 4"x4" square of cardboard in between seat pivot arm and new material , this will let you slide it into position with out tearing up the new vinyl !!

All , I have left now is the ash tray to gets chromed.
I dropped my ash tray for chroming last week. loco price $50
I also see them on ebay for about the same as, I can get done locally if not cheaper with shipping or other bidder pumping the price up.
Anyway that carpet color fits in nicely with the over all color scheme.

I ordered some of the soft tar like windshield gasket and body sealer for when, I'm ready to replace my front & rear glass old gaskets. Plus have the SS windshield trim to go in with DC gaskets. I had a glass shop put in my last rear gasket as my bad back was giving me a lot pain then.
So paid those PnP glass shop guys $45 to install it. Ha 5 guys it took over 45 minutes trying to get it in. The Chicken Shxt guys did not even use any sealer and found my inside carpet soaked from when it rain.
So after I used a lot of silicone RTV on the inside, I finally got it to stop leaking into the cab.
Looks like hell, I even had to drill a small hole into the lower outer area of the seal for a drain..
I placed the seal on the sliding window before getting their. The manger said I put it on backwards and changed it around. Ha 30 minutes trying to install it one guy puts it on the way, I had placed it but still had a hard time and why. I saw them doing it from the out side the cab. As it should have been from inside the cab.. So much like TJ Mex. type craftsmanship.

LOL That's why I do my own glass , normally the people they hire have no clue . they jack up the install or scratch up the paint .
Why pay someone else to do A worse job then I can do myself ?

Ah, I got my ash tray back form the chrome shop and installed the DC hinge chrome covers. I had to drill & tap the hinge, I think I used a 6/32 tap.
Only last thing is I'd like get my 6t mirror holder chrome. I like it one the 71 as it holds the sun visor tips.
