Pulled the bed off and finally put the truck up on car dollys..

I am trying to figure out how to install my new seats in my truck. I bought new leather seats. They are the second row out of a new Honda Odyssey. If anyone has any information on how to attach these, I would really appreciate it. They have hooks on the rear portion of the seats and slots in front. Help. Thanks much.

mud.man.rj · 01-13-2012, 12:18 AM

I have used my old seat brackets and just redrilled them to fit the new seat but that worked for me on my seat, may not be as easy on yours.

It might be easier to just cut off the original mounting hooks and tabs and remake your own mounts. I have done it many times, it is not all that difficult.

Good luck

Looks great Randy,
do you have any pics or other info on the battery box you installed?

Bennett68C10 · 01-15-2012, 10:30 AM

Did some more work on my doors. First pic is of Passenger door after spraying boom mat on. I had already sprayed rust converter, rust encapsulator and bedliner before the boom mat. Now its ready for the skin to go on.

Next couple of pics are of the rust work on the Drivers side door. Replaced the inner door bottoms, fixed the rusted out upper hinge area and fixed the upper part of the door on the latch side.

Ms 69 longbed · 01-15-2012, 04:10 PM

yoohooo, got new HEI distributer and yellow wires installed, took out the old air conditioning pump and hoses while we were working in the engine compartment yesterday. next item on honey do list .... rear leaf spring bushings and u bolts

LadyBird · 01-15-2012, 05:18 PM

Finally started mine for the first time

Ignore the bad starter solenoid in the beginning, lol. I'm the dork running around in the hat haha. Now that she runs/drives, i can get her ready for spring.

elf w/capital T · 01-15-2012, 06:07 PM

hell yeah i cant wait to start mine up again. just threw on the new performer intake and 650 carbourator and the old filter, i have a 9inch filter on its way

kcsa75 · 01-15-2012, 08:59 PM

Took advantage of the break in the weather to fix a couple of things and change the oil. Figured as long as I was at it, I would install the new radio antenna that I bought a while back.
I got the cowl off, new antenna install installed and the wire run though the firewall. All I had left to do was plug it into the back of the radio and I'd be done.

Three hours later....

dukcaln · 01-15-2012, 09:00 PM

dukcaln · 01-15-2012, 09:02 PM

all the trim is finally on, cleaned the inside to get ready for carpet and sound barrier. adjusted the carb.... and some other small tinkering... next the tach and stereo

mcmlxix · 01-15-2012, 09:04 PM

Put some white grease on the wing windows... wow what a difference...

I think I stopped a horrible squeek.. The passenger side latch on the Blazer hatch has broken fiberglass and I htink that was the casue.. I just put a screw in it so it can't move...

Thanks Dano. It's my first time (trying to look all shy and stuff) so it's been kinda' scary.

MONTE · 01-16-2012, 04:07 PM

Installed an overflow tank for the radiator. I got it at Autozone.

MONTE · 01-16-2012, 05:45 PM

Got this idea from a board member.

And this.

shawno72 · 01-16-2012, 07:20 PM
