One ton Stan said he never see anything different. Foam over the back whodathuk.

Here’s what it looks like now while we decide what materials to use. I don’t like the feel of the passenger seat I did not carve it out like the driver. But maybe I just like driver seats never been much for riding shotgun

These are the only photos I could find on my phone. These 2 photos are the same, I just tried to zoom in on the specific seat back foam. On the picture where I zoomed in, the very bottom seat back is the one where the foam is formed around the frame. The one on top of that, is just the seat back frame, without the foam, which takes the foam that flips over the back. The next one is the same, the seat back frame with the foam that flips over the back. I like these a lot better than the one that is formed around the frame.

Our truck has a mobile home 350 out of a van type with fresh heads sold the 400 tranny for the price I paid for the combo. To keep the cost low I used an older Saginaw with a mechanical bell crank (my hot rod club said it couldn’t be done) I have two just in case one breaks don’t think it will. With all 85 hp coming out of that 70s 350. The mission is a canyon carver/ garden wagon still a lot of work to go but it’s running. Four years build time(maybe five) and right at about four thousand dollars. So keep on with the get on and stick to the program.

Here’s that button tuff. It’s in the trash but it was a learning experience.

This truck is a true step side with a straight six the crazy integrated head and intake.( I feel like I have seen them in propane forklifts.)I drove it almost fifty miles home in a rain with my beautiful wife praying we make it. It wouldn’t even go 60 and if it had an up hill grade I was whipping it like a mule. My back hurt so bad. From the ranger seat not even attached leaning forward with those high headrests. Goofy.

These photos are from a Craigslist add when I had given up and was ready to sellout. Don’t do it if that’s in your mind. Even this spring the thought had crossed my mind I had a leak in the transmission over and over I would fill it and leak out in a pan. Turned out it was the slip yoke with a weep hole in it. Automatic transmissions have weep holes and manuals don’t??? Why I still do not know maybe one needs to tell the guy making the drive shaft what kind of tranny is in the truck.

So the insurance company thinks I’m driving a straight six/ automatic. I had ripped out that air pump before I quit driving it. I swear that it was faster.
