Seat install. I like to sit in the truck not on it. I believe you should look out center of windshield height wise eyeball level.
Junkyard OBS 1989-1994 ish work truck seat. Chopped 3 " out of seat brackets height wise. Stock seat bracket fit floor of truck perfectly width wise! |

Exhaust.

I believe exhaust should be heard and not seen. The muffler I used were small and fit perfectly in the tight space I had to work with, originally I was gonna run 2 chamber flowmasters but they were too wide I was gonna have to refuse step depth on cap to make the fit! These turbo mufflers have a great Hotrod rumble were a perfect solution size wise!
Fenderwell headers 1 5/8 primaries with a 2 1/2 " collector after that it's all 2 1/4" pipe. |
Re: My new Beater 1959 GMC
Seat install, bed floor and tubs cut, and exhaust were all done before goodguys this last Saturday. Posts are out of order. It was a busy week and I didn't till now.
Again very happy to have truck home looking forward to driving it and finishing it up!! Thanks for all the comments!! |
