What did you do to clean the dash up? Sand and paint or?

[dsraven]

did you end up lowering the seats a bit?

[Softpatch]

yes I did the height was too tall
so I custom made bracket and bolted them to the seat then to the truck

Yes wish I hadn't
I wanted originality and to stop the rust.
I just couldn't clear the rusted dash
Didn't patch the hole's left the dents.
They tell a story this was a work truck
so I sanded the top a couple layers of rustoleum primer

The black is Semi gloss black.
Didn't want a shean when your driving the glare from a shinny(gossy) black dash and flat to me looks fuzzy
The bottom (original gold.?)
I used Hammerite Bronze....Not perfect but I did it my way
and I like it
.
.
the innerside is all Rustlok

no adjustment back and forth on the seat's.

as far back as they could go at the height I wanted.
Not to far back so there up against the rear window fab'd up the brackets
it feels right when your driving and having to crank the big wheel around
Why.?
It was cheep
comfy
and the backs flip forward to access behind
arm rest and cup holder are Not usefull
because this being a big truck if your not cranking on the steering wheel your shift the gears like a monkey with a bad itch....

(4spd with granny 1st and two spd rear axle)

I probably average around 6mpg with the gears and propane setup
This is no Daily driver
.
.........and I would have it any other way

well, it's your truck so if it is right for you then it is good. if you needed to change out the seat mount you could easily find a slider at the wrecker for cheap. but.....it's your truck,it should fit YOU.
