Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Great job on the wheel tubs, I like. Those seats look good, I went with 99-06 buckets, but I like those better....

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I thought of that but I don't mind them sticking up in the window. If I do take them off the seat backs will be flush with the bottom of the window.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Thanks Tommy. I'm keeping an eye on your build too. How the hell do you crack an oil pump? Watch for the o ring on the pick up tube too. That's the culprit with a lot of oil pressure problems. There are two different colors or o ring and they're specific to the pick up tube you have. If you buy a Melling it will have both in the box and a diagram telling you which to use.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
That's why I said to take them off.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I took a couple real pics tonight instead of the usual camera phone shots. I put the steering column back in to see how much room I had and get a feel for where the wheel is going to be. I almost have to squeeze my leg under the wheel when I get in. I'll probably get a smaller diameter aftermarket wheel at some point but it will work for now. I think I'm probably going to use the stock clutch and brake pedals. I adjusted both as far back as I think they'll need to go and they're in a comfortable spot. I also got some pics of the cab seams I welded.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
The seats are out of an 09 Silverado standard cab. They're all manual so no electrical to deal with. I got them off ebay from a seller called gandaauto08 out of Troy, Michigan.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
There's a few spots on the cab that aren't stripped down to bare metal, but not many eagle eye.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Your moving along quickly
![]() I like the seats, they do look like they fit well. Do you have them bolted in? I had to make some plates for my 05 seats to fit. Tony Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
No, they're not bolted in yet but it doesn't look like it will take much work either. I'm going to reenforce the floor, drill and bolt em in. I probably won't do it any time soon. They're just sitting there so I can fit everything up around them. I'm getting my transmission on Monday evening, if it's on time, and I'll just keep them in there till I see where the stick lines up. I'm going to clean them up and put them away till I finish the the dirty work. I'll take pics and post them when I do it.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
I love the seats. Be glad you didn't go power, mine were a NIGHTMARE. 38 wires to sort through and ended up using a total of 16 per seat.
I was going to get Silverado seats, but I wanted something a little more old man.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Do the shoulder and lap belts come connected to the seats??

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
"38 wires to sort through"
That's exactly what I was trying to avoid Jimmydean. I think it's the law that you can't sell seat belts after the car has been in a wreck. They didn't come with the seats and I'll have to figure something else out.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
The trans finally got here. I bolted it up and jammed it in there to see if my measurements were correct. It's exactly where I thought it would be. The tape doesn't lie. I made a shifter out of 5/8" round stock. I put it in the vice and bent it with a pipe to get the 3" offset closer to me. I flattened out one side by cutting a little with a cutting wheel to get a flat surface to mate to the shifter mount. Then I drilled and tapped the top, cut the head off a bolt and screwed on the shifter. The pic of the shifter close to the seat is in 2nd gear. It's perfect. I think I saved $50 on a shifter.

Re: Shrunken66Stroker's build thread.
Keep tacking it when upside down??? Maybe that would work better?
