I have thought of that, the console is pretty low and you done exactly sit low in these things so it should not be a problem but I might mess around with their location anyways, in front of the shifter could make use of that big blank space a little better.

Only a little time tonight to work on the truck, had to go to a WInterhawks game with the wife.

Managed to pull these out of the bin and get some polish out and see if they would clean up. They polished out like new. I was pretty suprised.

Old on the left, polished up on the right.



Also spent a little more time cleaning up the license plate from the 68 I parted out. I hope that the DMV will let me keep them on the truck.

Little hammer and dolly work on the license plate and cleaned it up really good and shot it with a coat of clear. Also got it on.

Rear of the truck looks cool...At this point, I have no plans to run a rear bumper.



Also go the shifter adapter and lift kit built, welded up and bolted on. It has a little angle back and to the driver, forgot to snap a pic.

I was able to find some diagrams for the seat bracket and plotted them out at work actual size and printed out and picked up some steel.

1 of the seat foams showed up today, next week should be a barrage of parts. Seat foams, carpet and inner door handles, seat sliders, bolts and hardware, second seat foam and shorter front shocks....its go time fellas.

Damn near ready to take it for a trip to get some fuel for reals.
