Re: Locomotive Lugnut
I got the majority of the front setup installed this weekend, it was easier than I thought it would be. I'll try to have some pics up in the next few days.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
Got the front PB setup as far as I could ,I'm still waiting on some other parts to come in to be able to completely finish it. While I was trying to make some things look nice I had the 4-link bars, panhard bar and sway bar chromed. Here's some pics.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
Since I'm still waiting on some parts to show up to finish the front susp. I figured I'd do something else this weekend. The seat that was in this truck when I purchased it was way too tall and bulky for the look and style I wanted so I found another use for it elsewhere. So I picked up a clean 89 Chevy bench seat off the local CL and got it installed. It was to tall as well so I sectioned the brackets to suit my needs. I wanted the top of the seat back to be flush with the bottom of the back glass , hince the sectioning of the brackets. Next I'm going to start on the rear suspension. Here's some pics.
...and "NO", it's not staying red and it's not staying cloth.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
That's a fair amount of material removed from the riser.... How's the driver seating position now? Feel 'right' or ??

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
It's perfect, and extremely comfortable. The truck had some angled brackets that the previous seat mounted to that raised the back of the seat up a couple of inches. So I turned those brackets around the opposite way so it would raise the front of the seat up a couple of inches hince , leaning the seat back and providing me with a reclined , perfect height seating configuration.

Re: Locomotive Lugnut
Your truck is lookin' real good. It appears that it will sit very low to the ground and the seat too. May I suggest a skid plate between the floor and the seat.
 I like what you're doing.
