Fantastic job James,they look brand new 👍👍

[@raymondbradley6788]

James, I agree with you on that one. I’ve been a snap on man for a long time. I’ve had cheap junk break on me before there is a difference. Yes it’s cold everywhere it sucks.👍👍👍

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks Raymond. Always a pleasure

[@Jdigger4130]

Awesome! It's so cool you love old trucks and are taking us along JP. It's so refreshing to see what I think is a "realistic" approach to restoring the MANY you're showing us. I know HOW much energy and FINANCE this takes and dream about doing one myself someday. I am so glad I found yer channel. My boss lives in Ga and hope to get out and meet ya when she has me come out. Cheers from Ca and keep it up

Back in the early 80’s I drove a 1973 fright liner cab over for a short spell. Seeing you work on your trucks brings back good memories. Thanks for your channel

I like the fact that you’re saving these seats, rather than just spending cubic dollars on new seats that won’t do any better of a job. Tools…..the age-old discussion of getting what you pay for. The cheap stuff has definitely improved in quality in some respects, not so much in others.

[@JamesPretty]

I couldn't agree more about the auto reelers. Our shop uses them to be Lean compliant. But, they work like junk. We use those clips and call them "Christmas Trees".

[@JamesPretty]

Frustrating.

Ya it got down to -11 below zero last night here in central Minnesota. I grew up around trucking, my grandfather and an uncle where truckers and my Mom had an upholstery shop also. So I'm very familiar with all of the stuff that you do James.😊😊😊 Ya I love it and I have an uncle BOB also.

[@stansdds]

Nice information regarding tools. In general, you still get exactly what you pay for. Yes, there are some exceptions, but not that many. I remember back in the early 80's when I started doing some basic car maintenance. There was a Trak Auto store near me and they sold all sorts of tools and they were a lot less expensive than Craftsman tools. I bought a bunch of those cheap tools and when I tore down an engine that I bought from a junkyard, I found out why those tools were so cheap. I ended up buying a lot of Craftsman tools from the nearest Sears & Roebuck store. I did break a couple of Craftsman sockets when removing the head bolts. I took the broken sockets back to the Sears store and with no questions asked, gave me new sockets. I still have those Craftsman tools. Nice job on the seat rehab project.

Thanks dan

[@nostreamavailable9090]

Got to admit, my tools are all budget brand , but these days im just a hobbyist , when l was in the motor trade l was a renault mechanic and my tools were mostly from facom with some bits and pieces from britool and stahlwhile. That set up is long gone now and the tools l use now are clarke mostly with stuff from draper and Nielsen. I do have a set of dewalt compound pliers, they're incredible but l got them way cheaper than usual so couldn't refuse them. I always fancied snap on tools back in the day but just literally couldn't afford them, also when l was serving my apprenticeship mac tools were just coming to the U.K., they looked amazing to me too. Recently l like the look of Milwaukee's combination spanners but still too pricey for me unless my fortunes improve lol 😂

[@JamesPretty]

Mac is a good brand as well. My first toolbox was the big craftsman set. I used them for years

Great Job on the seats James. I could be wrong but think these seats came from an IH Eagle and the steering column in X has and IH tilt steering column I believe. I have a few old trucks myself and nothing is complete yet. All drivable but not done

[@JamesPretty]

Oh you could be spot on. I know the column was wrong.

[@glennhunter7018]

Good Job working on the truck seat looks good Brother I agree about the Air hose reels I have one in my race trailer it does not work right either keep up the hard work bro safe travels on the airplane Captain

[@JamesPretty]

Thx brother

[@the.porter.productions]

O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 Burned Out are words you don’t want to hear. It’s good to have a shop that you can work inside of to get some smaller projects done! Our current weather demands working inside as well. The seats look so much better now! Good time to repair them. TOOLS: my oldest brother always bought Craftsman tools because they were good & reliable. I so got that way as well & would really only buy that brand as much as possible. I still like the brand, but I’m not sure it’s the same as it was back years ago. You sure have to learn what cheap tools to buy & when to splurge on more expensive tools. Bottom line, I want to take care of my tools so that they last as long as possible. Can’t wait to see those seats installed. A few good hours of work! Good stuff my friend. Stay safe & warm. Blessings to you both! 🥰😎✌️

[@JamesPretty]

Thanks brother. We got a lot of the stuff like clutch box and steering column on x. So the seats should go in pretty soon. I wanna get the carpet installed first
