Hey all,

I finally got the bucket seats I wanted for my GMC pickemup so the like new original bench seat and frame are up for grabs.  The former owner recovered both seat and back with a nice gray tweed, professional looking job.  I've got the tubular frame (which I couldn't get to slide but the hardware appears to be all there - maybe some grease?), as well as the stamped riser to hide the lower mechanism.

This is complete and I am not putting any price on it.  If anyone is interested, George, aka, Purple Pickup is willing to try to haul it to the BBQ build, if you can arrange any further delivery.

I also have a center bench seat from an old Dodge minivan.  It is mounted on a Downs built support and it fits between the wheelwells of a Downs Vicky for a back seat.  The original upholstery is fawn colored and not in too bad shape.

It too is up for grabs.

DW will be very grateful if I can move these out.  She won't let me put 'em on the deck for summer lounging.   :cry:

Hello all,

I have been lurking here now and again for a while and decided I should become a legal viewer.

I'm Jay, I work with Purple Pickup and have a 48 GMC project pickup in pieces in the barn.

My last project was a Down's bodied glass (gasp) Deuce Vicky.  Longed for that car since I was 12 years old.  Once I got it I found how impractical it really was.  Spent two years getting it done and on the road and then drove it for four.

Decided that RV travel was more enjoyable so sold the Deuce for a 32' Holiday Rambler.  Still have the HR but missed the rod.

Found the '48 at the Kazoo Nats last September (some of you RRT folks may have seen the smile on my face as I bragged about it to PP!).  Well, after closer inspection, the thing got gutted.  I'm collecting what I need (electrical, mostly) and am in the process of rewiring it completely.

It has a '72 Nova clip which looks solid (square and straight) and it drove nicely.  I hope it still will when I get it back together.

I see some very intelligent responses here and will jump in for ideas now and again.

As for my knowledge, well, let's say I'm still learning.

With this board and the RV boards I'm registered on, I may never get ANY work done during business hours...

So, hello again, and see you in the funny papers.
