Ta2Don recently made some too, but different. See his post #1855 HERE. Thanks for sharing the idea. Do they stay tucked under the seat during hard braking? I mean, do they like click into position with a detent or other design to keep them from moving left and right during hard cornering?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Sold mine.

Got tired of paying people to do crap work only to hire someone else that did crap work.

Too old and too easy I guess.

IF I do another one I will buy the tools and do it all myself.

Jelous, my 283 had no side engine mounts... original and at one point painted orange. Wanted to save. Love a high rpm small block.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II
Built myself a rear bumper out of a front bumper that I shortened 18 1/4'' and welded strips on the back for strength and filled the bolt holes in with weld. Should make all the factory guys scratch their heads

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Saturday, too much work and not enough play, so my girl & I installed everything to be legal and went out cruzing and to dinner. Still got a lot of work to do, need to motivate to cut and buff paint.

That's so cool. My nine year old girl is looking forward to that day, too.

She's had her hand in everything over the last year of working on it. It's been a great experience for both of us. Quality father/daughter time.
