Hey!
Those are the same seats as are in my truck. 2000 Chevy Silverado. You are going to love them. Something to think about is a frame of some sort under the cab sheet metal that your seats bolt though. There was a thread on here a while ago regarding the danger of the seats with the built in shoulder harnesses pulling right through the floor in a head-on. I am designing a square tube frame that I will tack to the bottom of the cab and through which all the seat bolts will go. In order to come loose basically the whole floor would have to be torn up. You also have chosen the color and ghost flame efffect that I am leaning toward. A very nice job. Congratulations on an excellent piece of work. Larry |

About that brake pedal........
Wicked ride!!!!!!!
If I had a step side that's exactly what I'd want. I have a 72 short wide with power brakes but the brake pedal is much smaller. Is that brake pedal from a later model, if so what?

what did you do for bump stops?
I did a 2/4 spring drop and my bump stops are only about a 1/2 inch from bottoming out. I can't imagine what a 6 inch spring drop would do! |

Could you double check the shock part numbers? There seems to be a missing digit. I can't find them anywhere with those numbers.
Thanks, Kevin

The front wheels look very centered, did you move the crossmember?

I didn't move the crossmember, that's just the way it sits.
mocwon-That's the brake pedal that was in the truck when I bought it. I've always noticed that when I've thought about buying new rubber for it.
