Always something ain't it? Is that a rear seat out of a double cab? Wonder if it's any different than a crew seat.
The newer trucks are all "crew cabs" after a fashion, because they have done away with the 3 door and 4 door extended cab. So there's actually like 3 different door sizes and cab lengths of crew cab, depending on how much space you want.
I bet all that choice makes crash parts expensive....

Yes an yes, the bottom cushion is slightly shorter an the brackets on the seat are alot different. He goes over some of it on his site.

Yesterday I noticed a 94 3500 on the local lkq site. It had been out there 6 days but I figured I had to go look an see if I could get lucky an I did!

About 3 hrs of my time total and $172. They aren't perfect by any means but just having a spare set is worth way more than that. I got all the braces, bolts clips anything that involved the fender I grabbed it. Didnt really have the time to spend on it but couldn't pass it up for sure.

It's amazing how hard it is to find good dually fenders! Nice score on that.
The Dr side one has multiple cracks an chunk broken off but still a decent workable base if I ever need a replacement. That's the worst of the damage on the pair though.

Before anyone says it, yes I'm aware my truck has the short Dr side fender. I can always make the longer one fit if/when I need to. I mainly grabbed these to put up on the chance that I have a blow out or an accident that wipes one out.

I did the same thing when I first decided to convert mine to a dually, spare dually fenders are very hard to find....

I would have grabbed them, too, for the same reasons :waytogo:

Got the rear seat settled up. Looks like he's going to come out with a new kit for crew cabs with a w/t or double cab style seat. I'll probably just leave these as is though. I moved them forward about 3" from how they do a crew cab seat, I had plenty of room an it allows more recline in the backrest which should be more comfortable imo.

Also recovered the console lid, which was pretty busted up underneath the upholstery. Some epoxy an my plastic welder fixed that up since a new covered lid from GM is roughly $200...

Also swapped over to a airbag style wheel I recovered as well. I had a 95 style wrapped wheel to use but this cover wasnt going to work out on it. Im not crazy about the fit on this piece but for $40 I can't complain much. Hopefully some heat will settle it out some. I couldn't find a cheap pre-made one for that style wheel. I checked a few local shops but they wanted 300+ to do it. So a $60 junkyard wheel an to many hours later it's done. Matches the rest of the truck I guess :lol: :doh2:
