Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I really like the fit of the seats. You are 100% right about not having the seat stick out above the window. I've seen big window trucks with Cadillac seats in them, and it looks like the builder used a sofa instead of a seat. Yuk.
The steps turned out great, too. I'm beginning to wonder if there's any part of that truck that hasn't been massaged. With the rest of the mods you have done, the steps will blend in nicely. I'm guessing that you're going to smooth the tailgate as well?
How well did the shifter fit? There aren't too many options on classy looking shifters, and the Lokar is probably the nicest one of the bunch. I'm figuring that I'll be doing the Lokar shifter thing, too.
I know what you mean about getting the hood to fit. Once you cut the inner bracing out of it, it becomes so flexible that it almost seems like you can bend it in half. The previous owner louvered mine and didn't get the skin welded back on correctly, so I'll have to make some structural mods to stiffen it all back up.
