For the seats, I cannot take full credit. I copied the idea from Putter (Eric).
I removed the in cab tank to make more room for the 3 point belts (had some interference with the driver side retracting assembly and with the return line that I had welded to the tank for the fuel injection system, so I just completely removed it. I had to drill a couple of new holes in the seat rail to match the existing threaded holes in the cab floor and had to drill a couple of new holes in the floor. No biggy at all. The seat belts bolted to all the existing threaded holes in the cab. For the Dash, I used a piece of aluminum sheet. I used the OEM dash panel and some cardboard to make a template. Then drilled a couple of 1/2" holes for the headlight and wiper switches. Then I used some poster paper to sketch out where I wanted the gauges and warning lights (2 x turn signal lights, high beam indicator light, charge warning light and 'check engine' or MIL (malfunction indicator light), and the toggle switch for the transfer pump, to push fuel from the passenger tank to the drivers side tank). I used a jig saw to cut the gauge holes. Hole saws would have worked better, but those sizes for metal are pricey......I already had a jigsaw.....
