      Sewlow, I have some questions about your black truck. Did you 4 link the rear? Have you ever tried coilovers set-up in front?

      Plan on getting Ride Tech Strong Arms upper & lower modified for coil pockets or coilover mounts.

      Belltech flip kit & max 4"/7". Possible 4 link set-up for a 7" max drop & no cutting thru the bed is my blockage.

      Any info on your rear set-up is appreciated...

      Hey Ive been sneaking around the forums for some time now. I came across some of your posts and it seems you do interior work? I live in Banff, and have a 99 tahoe that I'd love to get the front seats redone rather than trying to adapt newer seats. wondering if you might be able to help me out. Also sorry if I've posted this to the wrong spot.

        Yup! Upholstery guy. I can do repairs or complete recovery.
        Are they cloth, vinyl or leather? Send me a couple of pix.
        Only prob with the OEM materials is that they're stupid expensive. What I've done in the past is to find a factory rear seat cover or 2 out of an ex.cab or crew & utilize that material to repair the front seats. Most times the rear seats are in much better shape than the fronts.

        Or a completely different color or type of material could be used for a full recover.
        Those seats came in a couple of different designs. I try to find rears with the same style. Makes the repairs easier.
        Easier to get me on F/B. 'Al Decker.10' is what I believe you have to search. Just look for the front end shot of my black truck as the sig. I'm not on here very much, anymore.

        In the summer, all you need is a tacky hawaiian shirt, some shorts & a pair of cheap sunglasses & you can be a tourist in your own neighborhood. Fit right in & no one will ask you for directions! Lol! Wages can be a bit lower than here on the coast, but then, the cost of living is cheaper.

        House prices have gone up considerably since I lived there. Lakeshore is crazy expensive! But you can be 10-15 minutes outa town & be in the country!

        Rutland is the Surrey of Kelowna. Not so great of an area! Other than that, if my parents weren't getting on so, I'd seriously be considering moving back. Trying to remember...what do you do for a living again?

    Name:
    AL. D.
    I was the kid in the back seat, hanging over the front seat, naming off ALL the other cars on the road. (seat belts? kid seats? Nope! Not then.) A disease or genetics? Jury's still out! Dad had Antique/collector cars. Still does. (Resto-geek!) I loved Muscle cars.
    Most kids hated September. Not me! I would be at the dealerships every Saturday,(on my 'Mustang' bike!) eagerly anticipating the unveiling of the new models. Just a bit too young & a 'few' dollars short! Damn!
    Managed to have a few over the years, although only one was a true factory muscle car.
    '69 Chevelle. Quarter mile @13.2-12.8. Written off. (Hey, I was 18!)
    '70 Nova SS396/L78 4spd. BL/BL. Original, except for headers. 3rd. owner. Watched the orig. owner bring it home. SOLD it to get married! :( DOH!!! :(
    '93 S15 Jimmy. 383 stroker w/TPI, 700R4, 3.73 posi, slammed on 17's & 18's. Fun, but small! SOLD!
    A couple of square bodies. Both rclb 3/4t's. 2wl/dr, 8600gvw's. '75 for eight yrs. The ex. wrote it off! '86 for 13yrs. Body rot killed it!
    Been doing custom auto interiors for 30+yrs. 7yrs. lead hand in a shop creating custom interiors for corporate jets. Earned an A.M.E ticket doing that. (Aircraft Mechanical Engineer -interiors, section 27.853, with multiple sub-section endorsements) 9/11 ended that. Since then, I've earned a Bachleor's degree in education, while working on custom, Hot-Rod, & restored vehicle interiors. (Riddler Great-8 finalist in '97) Many 'Best-of's' for my customers.
    Now, 2 trucks.
    '97 Chevy rcsb, 2/4 drop. SS wheels. Fair amount of mods. It's the one-year-only blue. Shop truck.
    '98 GMC rcsb. 4/7 drop on 20's. LOTS of mods. Black. Full Custom Escalade interior. Building to pull 1g, 60mph-0 in 130', sub 14sec. 1/4's. Ongoing project. 4.3 died after 375,000 km.'s. LS swap happenin' soon as I can get time away from customer's projects!
    Handle explanation; Upholsterer, hence 'sew'(low)
    Single,= solo (sewlow)
    &, both my trucks are, oh, about, so low. (picture my hand about this high)
    The 58? Yeah... I'm THAT old! (Y.O.B.)
    My only responsibilities are; my dog, my customers, my bills, & my trucks. In that order. Although the kids (early 30's) seem to think that 'ole Dad is a never ending supply of cash! (Do they EVER really leave home?)

    Anything with 4 wheels
