Re: '72 Frame Up Rebuild

I have the stock rear seat but I moved it back a little for more leg room (we put a new bed in it so no old mounting holes to worry about).

I also welded a bar across the rear of the seat and put all the seat belts on that bar and welded some "T" handles on the bolts and some nuts/washers under the bed so I can remove the seat all in one piece.

I also moved it back so I could remove the rear "T" handles and fold it up towards the front to a 90 degree angle and that gives me more room in the bed in case I need it.

I was looking at a folding seat option but ran out of time....wanted to get this done by summer 2010 as much as possible ;-)

I'm thinking of cutting the supports for the stock seat and fabbing it into a folding option if I can.

And while I have the transfer case shifter removed I'm hoping I can cut it down 6" and weld it back so it's not sticking up like a gear shifter.

I'm still young enough that I don't need that much leverage and it's a real knee knocker moving around in the cab.
