[old-chevy-truck] new to group
Hi, I am new to the group, my wife and I live on the coast of central Ca. We recently picked up an already started 1951 5 window project - got a good bit of body and bed work to do. I am hoping to keep the original looks outside but upgrade the running gear. I am wondering if the 60/40 front seat out of a late model (96/97) GM pickup will fit between the doors of the '51 ? I have one in my work truck and it's been comfortable for 256000 miles...hope to be able to use it. thanks, Don Fiftyone5window [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

I have the stock seat in my truck but have observed others have put the later model 40/60 seats in the older trucks; Hi Bob, thanks. We go thru the valley, up 41, once in a while, gets plenty hot and cold out there... I don't have the option of the original seat - the previous owner put in a Toyota Tacoma cut away bench seat that is really lacking in comfort and appearance. The steering column is a model GM that needs to go also - thinking of an aftermarket column and trying to fit the stock wheel to it.. thanks, Don Fiftyone5window [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

It wasn't too hard, I am a fabricator, it shouldn’t be too hard for any welding shop to make some brackets. I made four plates that bolted to the bottom of the legs, then built stands to hold them off the floor of the cab, then welded flat plates to the stands to bolt to the floor. Worked great and the seat is the right height for me. Mike Hi Mike, I do have a very small fabrication and welding business. What you describe is about where this truck is at now, the original seat frame is out, the previous owner has a Tacoma seat mounted on a 2x4 .125 sq. tubes, but welded to the floor boards, that's coming out, I will have to get the seat out of my '96 gmc to see how it will fit and what I have to add to the base - and add plates w/mounting bolts as you describe. thanks, Don [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Re: [old-chevy-truck] Re : Radiator Source
Hi Nate, thanks. I think I am going with an aluminum radiator, the heat transfer properties of aluminum are an asset in my opinion. And since the truck has been already modifies I am not going for an original appearance under the hood. I do have the stock '51 3100 radiator, it's a 2 row and looks to be in good condition, will probably get it pressure checked and find someone who needs a stock one. thanks, Don Fiftyone5window [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

Naw, I want a vintage truck with some modern innerds. I don't understand how folks can use some modern technologies, like email - but insist their trucks have positive grounds and dipper oiling systems. I was born in '45, must I remain there too ? Yeah, Vets are a precious human commodity, we thank every generations Vets ! thanks, Don Fiftyone5window [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Ole Chevy and GMC trucks rule!

[old-chevy-truck] Sound reduction ?
Hi, I am looking to replace and add some sound deadening material while I have the '51 apart - under the headliner is toasty and falling out, same for inside the firewall, and I would like to add some inside the doors and behind the seat and corners. There are several products being advertised and the pricing varies as much also - any ideas on the products would be appreciated. thanks, Don Fiftyone5window
Re: [old-chevy-truck] Sound reduction ?
Hi Cale, thanks for the reply. Truck is bare except for old glass, so now is the time to insulate I think. good idea on the roof area, and the self adhesive product of some form on the rest - I have found 70 mil down to around $1.70 sq' for the 100sq ft rolls on ebay. The specialty shops seem to want a lot more $$. thanks, Don Fiftyone5window
