I have a '76 KC I bought from my brother in '93. He bought it in '83, I have been happy with it, but I'm looking to spruce it up a bit being I'm going to surprise his oldest boy with it as a gift when he turns 15 in one year. I'm having troubles finding carpet and new/used seats. Any ideas my friends? Everywhere I look the carpet is for Z models or newer pu's.

i have heard, with some trimming, the carpet kits from a 720 will fit. thats what i am going to do when i go to do the carpeting in mine. as for seats, since it is a KC, anything will fit if you dont mind some fab work. i had some Honda Prelude seats in my 73 for a while. they worked really well but it was a tight fit in a standard cab. if i had em in my KC they would have been great.

How about some pics of this project?

I'll be starting on our 620 project before long... as far as seats, I think most any modern crossover or small CUV seats would be great (CR-V, Rav-4, etc). The seats in mine are from an unknown vehicle, but they look like a sports car seat - only a little bulkier, and with pull-down armrests (like a captain's chair in a Suburban or something).

I love this truck and have spent many of nights/days working in the shop keeping her going! Hope you guys enjoy the pics!
