Re: my redneck seat

Wow, you got the bucket seat option. I'm jealous. You knew someone was going to say it.

No joke, I just went and took this picture of my truck....

Re: my redneck seat

The milk crate is what I had during my build.
After we dropped the engine in and give it the break in we did a "test drive" down the road. Without the bed it was more of a test burnout.

Re: my redneck seat

va_tlc I like your truck, got any more pics on the build? Did you put 3/4 ton axles under it? Also, what size tires are those and were you still in need of a tie rod?

Re: my redneck seat

When my Toyota was stolen, they gutted the inside. I had to drive it home with a beach chair for a seat.

Re: my redneck seat

That looks like the orignal bucket seat! I think everyone has done that at some time or another. On my Corvette though, you sit so low that I was able to move it around just sitting on the floor.
