mas09ts · 10-31-2011, 07:05 PM

Well got finished up installing the seats this evening. They're a little darker than they show up in the pics. Here's the pics I promised.They sit very good, plenty of leg room.

VA72C10 · 10-31-2011, 07:32 PM

Looks good! Really nice interior now!!!

How did you reinforce them in the floor (since it's belts and seats in one now)

Theyre just bolted in with giant washers right now, i plan on getting a metal strip welded across which would connect the bolt holes.

Good idea. I definitely would do that ASAP. the sheetmetal on the floor of these trucks isn't very thick to start with....add 40yrs of stress/rust and they're sometimes like paper

Would hate to see you get into a fender bender and fly out of the truck...attached to your new seats

Wow guys, I never realized that I never gave you guys an update. Well I sold the truck in December of 2011, I hated to see it go but i needed something that I could afford to drive every day that was easy on gas. So yeah this truck is gone, however good news I'm currently on the hunt for a new project so of course you know its gonna be one of these trucks haha. Other good news is this summer we built a garage so when i do find another project the weather wont get in my way of progress this time. Sorry that I forgot about you guys, been pretty busy with college and such haha. Oh here's a pic of my daily driver that I got after I sold my 70.
