Re: Palf's 1970 Custom/10

Got some more done yesterday and today. Yesterday I modified the 92 seat bracket so it would sit flat on the floor instead of shimming up the rear to match the front. In doing so, it also drops it about 3/4" from where it was. Thus giving a hair bit mor room for my old man thicker thighs.

I had some end pieces of an old wood bed cross brace that I used to cut and form the new piece. It was correct thickness and worked up pretty good new piece. Welded it in and did the second one. Cleaned up painted.

Test fitted the seat today and only thing is I had to lengthen the hole a hair on both sides maybe a 1/16" for it to line up. Once that was all straight line the interior floors with Peel N Seal. I have had very good luck in 3 other trucks with it, so used it again. Now I just have to wait for the new carpet and padding to show up. Decided to go with black carpet, since it had black rubber mats before and the greens just were not sitting with me well.
