New Seats



Just installed some new seats from a 1994 truck into my 1979. What do you think?

That's a nice seat there. I like the colors and also the rest of your interior.

Here is the one I put in mine.

Sgt Wonderful:

Are those power window buttons I see on the driver side door panel? They look like late model switches, is this correct?
Those are for power windows correct?
How about that cup holder? I have got a thing going with another FTE member, and I have to get some cup holders in my ride before our next trip. That holder you have there looks like it would do the job.
Very interested in both modifications.
Seat looks great.

Two questions, first, BUCKS77, what did your seats come out of, and SGT Wonderful, how difficult was the power window / power lock mod to install????

Randomtasker, all you need is a welder to install the power window locks and a donor for parts. They do work good to. It's so nice to be able to roll down/up the passenger side window w/o unbuckling your seatbelt.
