Sorry the pics ain't that good but is was dark and was guessing where the stuff was with the flash lol

Pics helped. I ran into a set of those seats for cheap and passed them up b/c every one was like got to chop floor pans and move gas tanks. So I passed on them and started looking for another type of seats. The search is back on!!

if you did all that stuff they would fit in there lower, but those guys might be like 6'3 or something, it is funny i do have to jump in there since my truck sits high, i can't wait to see my ol lady try and jump in there!!!

Nice

Can you put some pics of just how it looks in there from different angles? Not like how you mounted it just like more pics of how they sit in there, how far forward, distance to steering wheel... et cetera.

NastyBuzzard · 10-30-2014, 08:17 AM

Yeah it does look tight with that big ole steering wheel!! Looks great though, us normal/shorter guys dont need that much crazy room. I think it looks great!

thanks man, its not that tight really, just not a lot of room for adjustment, but way more comfortable than the ol bench seat

dman1982 · 12-07-2014, 09:27 PM

so a little update on my build, i went to do the front gears a couple weeks ago, pretty much lost motivation, but had the front tires off and ready to work on, a few days ago i started again...holy crap my P/S spindle was a PINTA to get off...finally got it off and have both the axle shafts out and ready to start my gears (well in a couple weeks when i get off the road again) have to get these gears in for winter posi in the rear without 4 high would be just a bit too much fun

dman1982 · 03-02-2015, 04:12 PM

so I'm finally getting to my knock sensors, got them in, got a new intake gasket, having trouble getting the intake back on, it won't line up, is there a trick to this?

Huh? No trick that I know of. Just kinda angle it and plop it on. I have heard of these plastic intakes getting warped. Put a level on the runners and see how it looks.

You may be hitting something keeping you from going all the way back so you can set it down.

dman1982 · 03-02-2015, 09:14 PM

i ended up getting it...kinda just started in the middle and worked my way out, but hey no codes now!!!!

dman1982 · 03-17-2015, 09:39 PM

What you guys think?
