Finally got my project

[slb1985]

Finally went to pick up my new project. Problem started early couldnt find anyone with a big enough truck that would let me take it to Virgina to pick it up so had to drive it back, and that is where the prolem ended 11 hours later, in a truck i wasnt used to, made it home with 60 bucks less in my pocket but a new toy for the wife to yell at me about. it has a few things it needs but all just routine maintenace no major things i have found yet. So far the only thing i have done is tightened up some nuts bolts and screws, polished the rings and center caps, then painted the steelies. But this is where i need help i have been trying to read all i can about these truck what you guys have done to your truck but still have a few questions.

Will 18x12 fit the rear without a mini tub?
is there any newer style 40-20-40 seats that will fit? (some modding ok but dont know how to do alot)
are dashpads good enough or should i just go with a new one from LMC?
and in your opinion are the dakota digital gauges worth the money?

Looks like a great truck. Good luck.
