I wonder if there is a market for vintage looking seats that have new seat features and comforts. Perhaps some comforts have to be reduced such as shape for your hips and such but still.

The sides of the pick up box were fabricated using 4 pieces of 16ga. sheet metal and a piece of 1 1/4" pipe. The uprights are sq. tubing, 1/8" thick.
The floor is the original van floor.
The fenders were boat trailer single wheel fenders cut in half and extended with 16 Ga. steel.
The tailgate is 16 ga. with pipe bottom, sq. tubing and flat stock for the vertical center pieces.
The bumper is 12" ship channel bent 90 degrees for the ends , capped with 1/8" steel for steps.
(ship chanel is a channel iron with very narrow flanges, used in making stair cases)

Thank you for your interest,
Roger
