Morning Rob, Ken.

Good that there was no truck damage, Pat. I'd be a bit torqued if that happened to one of mine...

Yeah, I would too. I could have moved the frame outside, using the engine hoist I guess. I may have to do that, if the weather is supposed to turn to crap again. Hopefully, I should have it back rolling this weekend, after I get the seals from Cody.

I had about 2,000 in hail damage to my car two summers ago... paintless dent removal works like magic, couldn't tell anything ever happened to it.

No raining here, I've been riding around town collecting data. It was warm and sunny for some of the time.

Yeah, the sun keeps coming and going here too. They were calling for pretty much a washout this week, but it hasn't been the case.

Afternoon guys. Stopped raining here, just cloudy and wet now. May have found a better seat for the 67, a leather one out of an 03. It's like the one I had in my 97, and I really like that seat. Bill, you probably have the same one in yours.

The leather 60-40 in the half ton? Yeah, they're probably the same. I do like mine, though I did debate going to true buckets for looks at one point.

I'd like to have the option of seating 3 in mine. It would have to be recovered, I need to see if Ford still makes or sells those covers, so I wouldn't have to have them made custom.

Yeah, in a single cab you don't want to give up the third seat. In your research, give Katzkin a look. That's what I re-covered mine in. I had a shop re-cover all of the seats (back bench and front 60-40) and for all the pieces it ended up just a tick over $1000. Gotta remember there's markup involved there and all that. But it's a good OE color match and OE look match too. For one seat I would expect it to be much less expensive.

In the meantime, enjoy your night - I've got about another 50 minutes to go.
