"Bourbon and Water" build

1st pic is armrest on. 2nd arm rest removal. You peel the cover back and there is a bolt that attaches it to the seat. There is an adjustment screw to adjust the height of the armrest in the down position...Good to know.I found the break on the chairback.Pretty obvious. Now to repair.

To make it stronger I figured I have to fill it with something...Rebar is our friend! Weld it and reinforce more with angle 1"x 1". First tack it in so it doesnt slide in tube. Then fully weld.

Sorry pics were in reverse. Brought the seats down to the upholsterer. He wont even be back till next week so could be 2 weeks before I get them back. Went to Certifit and bought all new lights/ signals and headlight bezels. They didnt have the grille maybe next week also. I might have time to clean the shop this week! No truck or parts to work on. Maybe Ill put the 12v outlets on the console:wink1:
 
Did some more stuff and now I was given an 06 silverado 2500hd so I put it together with all new grille lights etc etc. I actually had the interior at the upholsterers and took it back. Im keeping the buckets and the console. Original bench is going back in. Its in good shape, I just wanted buckets at the time. So here is some more pics. Any Buyers?!?!

Put new carpet in.I have the whole kit so if someone didnt like the bedlier stuff its there. Also put in new windshield and rubber gasket and all new rubber gaskets in the back 4 window, I like how the 35" s look with no lift. I will sell with or with out those. Id like them on the 06 so the wagon wheels or the 06 wheels could be worked into a deal. I put this and the shortbed stepside on ebay so Ill list it in classifieds here if ebay is a bust

I still have a few more trucks though! Im only ditching two for one. That would leave me with 3 trucks, one car, two atv's two tractors, and two trailers. But only if I sell the burb and the shortbed.:eek1:
