Re: Babe: The Blue Ox
Doesn't the third row seat normally mount between the wheel wells?

It does, but it sits about 4 inches above the floor. With my setup I'll be able to mount the seat directly on the tubbed floor (without mounting brackets) and still sit at a near-stock height.

Re: Babe: The Blue Ox
Nice man. Looking forward to seeing how you mount the seats. Also what motor mount perches and slides are you using?

I'm using the custom ones that came from Porterbuilt. They aren't adjustable but they are designed for the LS and installed on the PB dropmember and the LS fits nicely.

Porterbuilt hood hinges installed. Also installed the hood brackets from Hart_Rod. Worked out good!
