Just cut the humps out of the floor and welded in a flat piece of plate. Then where the divets in the floor drop lower than the play I welded in some 1.5 x 3 inch tubing and dropped a bolt through the seat rail mounts throughout the tubing and the floor. I'll try and find some pics . Thanks for the interest.

actually, that was a previous post quote... I haven't started my build yet. I've got a pending project on an '84 CC that's already been shortened to 1/2 ton. I hope to dig into this 1st of the year. I wanna do the late model buckets w/ seatbelts integrated, and that's why I inquired on you build. Cool truck BTW!

I have been thinking about doing a build thread on this truck I am no expert on the swap but mine does work great and is a work in progress my biggest problem is I take very few pictures of anything when working on it. I may start a build thread on the truck in a few days

Well, we've all met 'experts' that feel their way is the only way. Then there's the guy that has experience & admits his way worked but feels this or that could be approached differently for better results.

Most guys on this board will take that shared experience

Hey joe how's it going? It pulls it pretty good! These 292's are torquey! But no fun!

I just got done pulling the 502 from my 81 though...so its going in this and viceversa

customisaak · 11-29-2011, 04:02 AM

I did that to mine as soon as I get time I am going to do a build thread on it with how I did it. It is not terribly hard to do.
