TMI Chevrolet C10 Bucket Seats & Door Panel 1960-1987 Installation

[Music] hey Freddie with CJ's know your eyes aren't fooling you this is actually a beautiful 65 c10 and as you know CJ's has really been expanding our truck market and we're getting one of my favorite categories the classic Chevy truck and although this truck is beautiful it still has the factory interior so I brought whaling from TMI what are we gonna be doing this today today we're gonna be taking out that factory interior it still looks good still in great shape but with a matter of just a couple bolts we can be upgrading that to our sport our buckets console and door panel that I brought with me this sport hour series basically has a contrast stitch around the perimeter comes in a multitude of colors and it has that sway to insert you see there in the bolster now these buckets come out of the box just like you see them completely ready to install you just mount the sliders and the bracket into the truck and you're ready to go no hog rings no listing channels no frustration trying to pull vinyl over foam out of the box they're ready to go hour down the road you've swapped out your interior the center is our waterfall console again that fits right between the buckets you can see it has the contrast stitch and the suede accents on the side I also brought with me instead of sport our door panels match the seat upholstery and you may notice these dimples across the top what's nice about everything I'm bringing today is it utilizes all the factory attachment points so right here's where we're going to put those factory screws that are inset right now on the factory door panels same thing with the seats they utilize all the same attachment points as the factory bench all right this stuff looks awesome let's get to the installation let's do it [Music] alright Waylon so where do you want to start on this thing I'll tell you what I'll take the bench you take the door panels fair enough you just want to remove this factory hardware we're gonna be reusing that so make sure you hold on to it before we remove the door panel we have to remove the window crank and the door handle there's a set screw on each one that you have to remove with a flathead screwdriver once you remove all the handles you can remove all the screws from the perimeter of the door panel once you get all the screws out you can remove the door panel alright so we got both door panels off what are we gonna do now let's get that bench out of there sounds good I'll get it on this end now that the original benches removed the next step is installing all the sliders and brackets on the new seats to get them in the truck the first thing you want to do is flip that bucket over and take out your sliders now right now the the holes that we're gonna need to attach on the bottom of the seat are blocked so if you want to release the teeth right there pretty helped me slide that down so you can see that first hole right there you're gonna go ahead and just attach the hardware to the bottom of the seat and hardware content the seats right correct yeah all hardware including the allen wrench comes in a little bag in the kit just go ahead and repeat the process release the teeth and slide the track up to reach the second attachment point on the bottom there you go once you get this out of the slider installed you want to take this connecting rod right here going through this hole and I suggest putting it on this slider before you install the slider makes it a little easier on the install slide it down there you go now your handle is functional so go ahead and release those teeth again slide the track up go ahead and slide the track up until you can see that hole coming through right there and install your attachment you're gonna want to wait until you get both those bolts in loosely before you tighten them down so tighten that one's in good and tight and now we can go back to the first one we did now this is working once you get the last one installed go back and tighten down the first one we did things nice and good and tight once you've got all your bolts tight you're gonna I'm gonna go ahead and disengage the teeth and make sure the sliders are level there we go now we're all ready to install this on the bracket we're gonna go ahead repeat this process on the other bucket once you get both of your sliders in place you're going to install the bracket but before you do that you want to make sure that your adjustment handles right here for the recline mechanism or on the outside you don't want those facing on the inside not gonna work when you install the console later on so grab your powder-coated bracket now on this there's two sides to this there's a lower end and arrays then obviously you want the raised in at the front of the buckets so line that up are you looking over there Freddie good and good all on alright now again in the packet this flight hardware we do have the nuts for this and we'll install four on each side [Music] with the bracket installed next step is just to slide this bad boy into the cab and get it bolted down to the floor let's get to it and once you get those bolts lined up you're gonna tighten them down to the frame once you get the seats in you can tighten all your hardware once you have the bracket bolted down to the floor the next step is to install the center console so you're going to take this slide it into place between the two buckets and pop out the center cupholders we're gonna reach in there kind of in the dark and you'll find a velcro strap simple yet effective what you're going to do is you're going to take this velcro strap and velcro it down to the bracket good and tight once that's done cups holders back in and you're ready to go the only thing you're going to need to do to prep the door panels for installation is grab it all or any small sharp object and you're going to want to feel through here through the panel and find out where this is punctured and then simply just press through you're gonna have to put that screw right through there that's all you're gonna have to do do that all the way around and repeat for the other door panel [Music] to install these door panels you're just gonna reutilize the original hardware I find it's easier to go ahead and kind of start it off through the hole we punch with the awl get it started lined up and screw it in don't worry about the handles for the door or the window we'll get to those after all the screws are installed one thing I do want to point out why we're doing this since you're going to be reusing your original hardware the owner of this truck has since changed is how original II this had a stainless steel flange around it gave it a little bit more of a finished edge and encompassed a little bit more of this panel area right here or the recessed area now would be the time if you wanted to change this out upgrade it maybe use a black screw to blend in that'd be up to you now would be the time to do it though with the door panel screwed in next step is to install your handles a little tricky a little scary you actually have to cut the panel but it's simple enough what you're going to do is feel through - you can find the attachment points on both sides and you're going to want to make a small incision you're gonna turn into a surgeon for a minute small X and you're gonna poke that handle through so again right there I can feel where the crank side is you can see it I suggest a sharp razor blade on X and the other side once X through if you cut all the way through you should be able to just pop it through handle goes in tighten down your set screw and you're good to go what do you think Freddy I told you we'd be done by lunch honestly I'm super impressed it installed super easy everything lined up great and you're right it installed super quick I'm very impressed it's basically a swap you're gonna use your factory hardware so you're basically just replacing everything you've got but the end result is a massive upgrade and not only comfort but obviously stop yeah it really does look amazing well thanks one thing I did want to point out is we do offer a bench option for these trucks as well both in a 55 and a 60 inch bench to fit the early model trucks as well as the late model these buckets matter of fact will fit all the way from 60 to 1987 the only thing that changes the bracket and the console are a little bit different and of course door panels are different for a year and we also do dashes this one obviously didn't come with a factory - but when you get up into the years that do we supply a dash that matches this interior as well awesome this team I interior along with other team I products for your classic Chevy truck can be found at CJ Pony parts
