Almost had it. Got dark on me and rainy. Dinner time. Finish it up in the morning. Looks good though. I think it will work. Bolted right in and used the old holes.

Old seat.


I got head rests, leather, and the ride height went up a little.
I would recommend an aftermarket smaller steering wheel. Specially if u have pwr steering.
Im a little guy so it dosent matter much.








Also this will hit the tank if u have in cab fuel tank. Be careful. Mine i had to click one up and lock in. I can slide it fwd. Pull the lvr and the bench folds. Than slide it back or fwd more.
Idk. It works for.me
Lol

Nice seat dude looks comfy! What is up on your roof on the drivers side?

[1guydude]

What the wires and the hole out the top of the roof?
I dont know. I had a lot of wire i just cut out or tore out.
I have some amber lights on poles that came with the truck. A back up buzzer out of the driver taillight and a big car pusher piece for the front of the truck. This must have been for cop lights or something .

I will eventually cut it out and fill the hole when body and paint time come.

Truck went to the shop yesterday.
Saftey check. Full charge system and wire check/work. Brake check. Seat belts. Lol.

Side mirrors should arrive today! Hopefully they are good enough quality to use. The rear view mirror i want to use is original and not cheap. :/

Lookin' good! Keep up the good work, man!

[1guydude]

Thank u. The anticiapation of hearing from the shop and getting it back is killing me. Guess all i can do is hope itll be in way better condition when i get it back and plan my next job/get more parts.

okay truck wiring should be done finally today. Said they did the checks. install the side mirrors. re wired from the instrument panel to the back taillights and such. got all the lights working.
Sounds like they wanna work on it more. They wanna address the "fluid leaks" which im guessing they are talking about the oil coming from the header area and those bolts that are broken off.
total right now. $1100 :0

so that plus the parts and jack and stands and truck im well into this .

Yikes hopefully it works a lot better now at least.

[1guydude]

hit a person up about a parts truck today. Asking $200 and I offered $100 and the price of the tow to my moms a town away from him/her. Heres hoping its a longbed like it looks like and I get it.
