[Vwpickups] Seats for my truck

[Brian and Ruth Decker]

HI Eric;
	When it comes to seats in a Rabbit pickup some of us have special
needs. Corrado seats work for me. I have two sets one set in my hot gas
Rabbit pickup and one set in my diesel Rabbit pickup. Some modifying factors
are though I'm only 5' 7" I am built like a gorilla (short legs, short arms,
long body), I am 71 years old and always wear a Fedora. I can enter the
pickup without taking off my HAT. The bolsters are also nice in the twisties
since they keep my butt from wandering. 
	I pretty much follow the speed limits now on the freeways but the
back roads of America still turn on the juices. I will finish Monday
building a Porsche type 4 engine for my new 1975 Porsche 914. It is a 2056
cc built off a 1.8 block with a 2.0 crank and rods, ported big valve heads
(44/38), 96 mm jugs, Web-Cam 270 cam, 9.4 to 1 compression and a pair of
Weber 44 carbs. Back when I was in my 20's and drove like a crazy man in my
hopped up Porsche 356A 1958 coupe my mother said I was going to kill myself
in the car. It didn't happen but perhaps the Porsche 914 can get the job
done now that I'm almost 50 years older.

Actually, the Corrado seats sit the lowest (the ones Brian is using).  In
my opinion...too low (unless you are over 6 ft).  The Scirocco 16v seats
are perfect in my opinion (says the long legged 5ft 10in dude).
