Dave, You provided some excellent tips. Here are a couple more; Brother sells seat foam, but if you want to keep it a while, flip over, inspect. Any worn or spots that might tear on front or edges, cut some oversized burlap, spray contact cement on both. Work into these areas to add strength and save foam. 1/2" medium density foam can be glued on top if the foam is dead. Use the contact cement spray like 3M 99 high-heat, high-strength. Hot air from hair dryer will work out wrinkles but keep moving. Hot air guns can damage fabric or vinyl but use a damp towel and welders gloves to stretch material. Inspect the frame, clean and paint if rusted as this can cut into foam & material. Check spring clips and pinch with pliers as needed. Best of luck with your project. DK, Omaha.

Great tips!

Whoever did my truck seat didn't replace the foam, from a 1966 Chevy pick up, the back is open and all the old foam is falling apart dried out, thanks for the tip DK. Can't wait to get my seat done.

@@drunkenpirate3201 I like the name... Yes, but I also heard they use straw in some places in old Mexico! I am half done sewing leather power buckets from a 2003 Tahoe to fit my 67 C10. Removed the side air bag (Mother in Law), but cut the stupid seat belt post off in such a fashion to leave a chunk behind, fold over with a torch and weld in place. I have straight & 45 degree angle SnapOn hog ring pliers from the 70's. Use galvanized 14 AWG electric fence wire sold at Farm stores on 50' repair rolls. You can make hog rings with them but works great a "Listing" wire that is used in the pocket sewn into some seat covers. It won't rust, and I sew leather on 2 different machines. I buy headliner material to sew on the back of pieces I want a little extra cushion on. Cut twice, measure once, still to short! DK, ASE master tech since 78, retired. Omaha.

[@DumbCarGuy]

Nice job. I have a broken seat glide. I didn’t see the for sale. Do you sell them. Mines a 1983 k20.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

No sir, junkyard item on that one!

[@DumbCarGuy]

@@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV Thats what I thought. Thanks for the reply.

[@DumbCarGuy]

On your website. I have a 1983 Chevy Silverado K20 just like the one your working on there. Why is it that when i go through the pop up windows I punch in chevrolet, then K20 pickup, then it comes to the year it only lets me go to 1974? After trying multiple combos I have to go back and select C10-all just to get to the 80s. Am I doing something wrong or is there an oopsie on your pop up window year selector? I couldn't find help on the website so I'm asking here.

[@BROTHERSTruckPartsTV]

It's a GM naming thing and our website database pulls from the old GM names. '73 and earlier are K20 Pickups according to GM, and '74 and later are just K20's. From our menu just select K20 and not K20 Pickup. Sorry for the confusion.

[@chicagoalmighty45th95]

I wanted to buy some.. but I see you're limit on kits for a 1983 k5

[@kennethboydsr3966]
