I removed the cab corner badges in preparation for some cool flat black primer. lol The first pick is of my interior that I'm working on. I made the headliner, door panel covers, kick panels ect. Also painted the interior metallic blue with safety yellow, 94 front bench, removed the gas tank, Firebird steering wheel, and carpet Feels much more homey inside now and doesn't reak of gas. lol

couple of questions.

1. the bench seat came out of a 94 chev. pick up? 1/2, 3/4, etc?

2. how does said seat fit in cab? (clearance)

3. what tranny are you running

LeRoy · 10-05-2003, 10:05 PM

Thanks for the comments. The original paint has seen better days
Question answers:
1. The seat came out of a 94ish standard cab, 1/2 ton, 4x4 but that shouldn't matter as they appear all the same whether a 4x4, 2wd.. 1/2 ton or whatever. Seat fits great. The front two holes lined up good after I loosened the frame some. The seat frame has about an inch + either way to adjust. I had to drill the back two holes but that was easy. Seat height is nice with my 6 foot frame
2. The tranny is a 4spd. granny low model. I think it's stock to the truck. I'm thinking it's the SM465?

thanks for the reply.

if the tranny is original to the truck, it should be a SM420

did the steering wheel bolt right on or did you have to make it fit?

LeRoy · 10-07-2003, 12:32 AM

The steering wheel bolted right on. I haven't hooked up the horn yet.
