on 21 sep 2006 172255 -0700 tmills65 mills@brewersmarine.com wrote coffee wrote so im thinking black leather seats with one of those back massager/heating cushions put inside the seat before it goes back together and the most /absolute most/ soft cushy foam i can find to replace the standard foam that comes from the factory. basically you know those 100000 high end sedans with the ungodly awesome leather seats in them.. i want to make some of those for my truck. i thought about upgrading the front seats in my 96 ram 1500 club cab to something better. the fabric is torn from getting in and out. ive always wanted to look at getting a set of leather power seats heated too from a more recent ram pickup but ive never seen anyone else talking about doing this. this might be a better option than re-covering your existing seats. i put sheepskins in no i should but i wont. denny on the other hand will probably be all over this. sheep................... vbg roy any car/truck i buy... cooler in summer warmer in winter and easier on the upholstery.. we just had the 01 dakota detailed for sale and when we took the sheepskins off the upholstery look almost new... and they even fit the seats in our blazer..lol mac https//home.comcast.net/mac.davis https//home.comcast.net/mac.davis/woodstuff.htm .

i just bought a cover for it for the winter snow and ice. but if hail is in the forecast i probably will attempt it. i will probably have to have someone else pull it back out though. the garage is off-set just slightly so it makes the situation even worse for pulling back out. i have already backed back into the gate that is between the detached garage and house with my old car. i can just see me backing straight back into the corner of the house! holy crap. lol numan if its cummins powered you could use the truck to move the house out of the way. bfg -- ---------------------------- -chris 05 ctd 06 liberty crd real trucks dont need spark plugs. .
