I f you have the straight bench seat from a '90 chev; you can probably use the frame from your current seat. It worked this way on my '80 anyway.

This seat we got is a 60 40, its not a full bench like my old one. I like the 60 40 seats thought because you can move the driver seat itself without moving the passenger seat.

Hi there guys, sorry if ya have been waiting for pictures, I have been very busy. To make a long story short i finally got the truck done and took it out for the first run and the engine went to junk on me. The engine ran good when we got the truck so my dad and me did not mess with it. But i guess after setting for a while when we were restoring the truck it just finally went bad. It had already been messed with and rebuilt so we just got rid of it and found another 350 that had not been messed with. My dad and me completely rebuilt this one and boy does it sound good, especially with the bigger cam :) But here is some pictures of my new hotrod engine. I will put some pictures of the truck on here when it quits raining and i can push it out of garage to get some good pictures.

Great work! That is a thing of beauty. I was thinking a similar color of blue for my rig if I get that far.
