Fordman: No, you certainly didn't turn me off with that price. I will PayPal you the money shortly, I'm expecting a payment myself and will pay you out of those funds. I'll try to get disassembly pics for you tomorrow (I just got back from the trip, decided to come home a day early). The trip went good, and the T-Bird performed flawlessly (of course).
 
*edit* Guess I should have checked my email first. I got the payment already. You've got cash!

yeah the 302 is still in it..... its an 8ft bed ;) so its LWB 
and yes im still interested in the seat..... just the driverside one ;) i need to swing money for exhaust parts ;) but yeah ill prolly talk to him tommarow about it....

the truck runs but haphazardly, you can start it and keep it running but, i tried to move it and it didnt budge.... it spun the tires really well at about 2500 rpms then died

i think he wants the py speakers out of it..... but we have to get the door for it from his old place that is if the landlord didnt junk it.....

btw im great with questions and im very patient, i understand all the questions.......

but i have a question of my own.... could i pay you in cash over the seat? since i have no credit cards

BlackJack,
Thanks for checking on the truck for me again.  I know after all the umpteen questions I've asked, you'll think I'm a nut when I tell you that, as bad as part of me wants the truck and always would, the responsible part says that right now I just honestly can't afford it.  I like '70's Ford trucks almost as much as T-birds/Cougars and '69/'70 Mustangs.  I really have no business considering another vehicle right now with my financial situation.  I probably can't afford to fix up/work on my '84 Cougar LS, but at least it's already bought and there's no hurry to get it back on the road.  Heck, I bought it last summer and I've still never registered it in my name or sent the title in.  Again, I really appreciate all the questions you've answered, but your brother probably better let it go to somebody who can give it what it deserves.  To answer your seat question, sure I will accept cash, but I strongly advise against sending cash in the mail.  I didn't know if you meant bringing it with you when you picked the seat up or what exactly.  I don't plan on selling the skinned seat to anybody else, so don't worry about that.

Manson,
Good to hear from you.  A couple of the parts you mentioned, I don't have.  I think you asked about the headliner and rear deck; I don't have those.  Wish I did.  Heck, I wish I still had the whole car; it was a gold mine of nice parts, but the law didn't see it that way.  I do have the door panels, however, ThunderChicken has already bought the armrest for the driver's side, but not the panel itself.  Give me a day or two and I can get you a picture of what I do have.  Again, it's mainly the door panels (minus one armrest), both front headrests in red cloth, both lower kick panels, and the panels that go over the doors.  Sorry I couldn't help you out with some of the other stuff.  I don't know how to attach pictures to posts yet, so send your e-mail address to "eric706@comwares.net" and I'll get them to you that way. 

ThunderChicken,
Don't give up on me.  I haven't begun to tackle the skinning process yet.  Anything you've got in the way of instructions, please send so I don't damage the covers you've already bought.  Thanks for the quick payment, too.  Ebay or not, I gave you a positive feedback point. 

Anybody else see anything they like?  I've still got a good-looking set of '86 Cougar XR7 fenders and a header panel (I haven't decided if I'm keeping the original header on my car or putting the whole XR7 header on - either one is in great shape, the only difference is color).  And I've still got the set of 14" wire wheel covers and wheels for a Cougar, with locking key.

BlackJack,
Man, I appreciate that.  Shoot, in another month or two the irresponsible side of my brain may have had a chance to win over.  Oh, what are your thoughts on picking up the seat in the meantime?  I'll be out of town this next weekend, but should be home any weekend after that for a while.  Hey, are you needing the power seat assembly under the driver's seat?  I didn't know if that was one of the parts you were needing or not, and really hadn't even thought about whether I was including it in the price I gave you.  The only reason I ask is, my power driver's seat may be out in my '84, and I know the one in the red seat works.  I should know in a day or two.  Just let me know.

Manson,
Sorry I didn't pay attention to your last post.  You'd already gave me your e-mail address.  I'll get some pictures to you soon.

Didn't get the pictures today - it's been raining like a sonofaw all day, and is supposed to rain tomorrow and Wednesday as well. If you don't figure out by then I hope to get some pics when this miserable (but much appeciated because it melts snow) weather breaks.

I'm at the cottage right now so I can't show you how to remove the covers, but when I get home I'll take some pics.


Hey TC - could I get a copy of those pics too? I'm about to tear the seat down, but have no idea where to start!  :crazy:

Ok, we FINALLY had one of those extremely rare days in which I:

[list=1]
  • Have the day off, and
  • It's Saturday, and
  • It's sunny and mild out
That being said, I got the pics taken. Keep in mind the seat was still in the car, so, Fordman, you'll likely have an easier time about it. I also found out why the seat ripped: The seat back had broken once, and the foam was severely damaged. The cloth cover was actually wearing directly on the metal frame. Looks like I've got some repairs to do (not quite happy with the looks of the repair job to the frame, either).
 
Anyway, here's a pictorial diagram of how to skin the seat back. the seat bottom is pretty straightforward
 
Step 1:

 
Step 2:
 

 
Step 3:
 

 
Step 4:
 

 
Step 5:
 

 
This should get you going, Fordman :D If you need any more help let me know. Looking forward to getting this ugly-ass ripped seat fixed!!!

ThunderChicken,
Perfect pictures.  I was out of town all weekend, so this week I'll get the seats torn down and in the mail with the other stuff.  You did want both covers, right?  I had a hectic weekend and don't remember.

BlackJack,
I can't help you with the other parts you're looking for.  I had a idea;  if for the time being you aren't able to drive down and pick up the seat, and I really dread boxing the seat up and taking it to a trucking company (it's gonna be too big for UPS or FedEx), I could possibly drive it up there for the cost of my gas.  I'm not sure exactly when I could do it, but we could discuss that later if you're game.  Figure we're about 240 miles apart, so 240 x 2 = 480; truck mileage = 16 mpg, so roughly 30 gallons of gas x $2.20 per gallon = $66, plus the cost of the seat ($20?).  This is just an estimate, and I'd adjust it if I'm off with any of my figures.  I wish I could do it for any less, but with the price of gas now, it's just killing me!  The only other idea I have is by Greyhound bus.  I don't think they're as picky about the packaging (maybe just shrink-wrap?), and their prices aren't too bad.  Probably way less than my first proposal, but I'd have to find my closest station, which may be a little ways away.  If I made the trip personally, and if there was anything else you wanted me to bring, there would be no additional charge.  If you had a way to get even halfway, say to Indy, that would be even better.  Think about it and let me know.  I'm still nowhere near being able to buy the truck yet, but maybe SOMEDAY...  (if he can stand to hang onto it for a while, I'll keep trying). 

Manson,
I haven't forgot about you.  I have been away from home a few days and haven't gotten any pictures taken of the door panels, but I will as soon as possible.  Something to consider; the last door panels I shipped by UPS cost around $35.  Call me stupid for telling you that, but I'd rather be straight up, and if you're in any kind of financial situation like I'm in, all of that counts.  There are all kinds of parts I would like to have right now, but I just can't afford them.  Keep an eye out this week and I'll get pictures to you. 

Still got a set of wire wheel covers and wheels for a Cougar and a good-looking set of '86 XR7 front fenders.
