I “Restored” My 1949 Chevy Truck Seat - How'd I do?

🧵 When You Want a Fresh Look… But You’re on a Budget

In today’s video, I decided it was time to “upgrade” the seat in my **1949 Chevrolet 3100 Advance Design truck**—and by upgrade, I mean I picked up a **generic seat cover from O'Reilly Auto Parts** and wrestled it into place like a professional (sort of).

No sewing. No staples. No custom upholstery.
Just a whole lot of tugging, stretching, and laughing at myself along the way.

This truck might be 75 years old, but now the seat is rocking that **“good enough to sit on”** look.

🛠️ Why Bother?
This is **Grandpa’s old truck**, and while it’s not perfect, every small improvement adds up. The seat might not be fancy, but it’s **comfy, covered, and ready for more miles.**

Would I call this a proper restoration? No.
Would Grandpa approve? Probably.
