Popped in my buckets today as a test run. Whatcha guys think?

I would rather have a bench covered in leather.

Looks like they were made for it. Nice fit.
I have about the same year seat and fabric in a 60/40 style for mine. 90 or there about?

Truck looks great! Those buckets fit nice.

All 12 bolts are 30 spline so should be good to go.

I have done several LockRights but just one Spartan. It is in the front of my '86 K30. Nice piece actually, but it was missing some parts my only complaint. Came from Randy's and they remedied that quickly. Great looking truck BTW, would like to see it in person sometime.

Yeah, I have a 60/40 set in gray also. As well as a maroon bench with armrest, blue bench without armrest and those blue buckets. All 88-94 vintage.

My issue with the 60/40 is the headrests. I don't wanna see them from the outside because I want the truck to look somewhat like it could have in 1970ish. If you remove them there's still the tell tale plastic bosses.

We might need to have a CenTex meetup. Are any of the Friday / Sat night car shows still happening?

Good question. I'm outside the loop on that and been out of town every other weekend since hunting season started. Add me to your friends list if you want and PM me sometime.

I installed that Spartan Locker - it was pretty easy after I extracted my broken pinion shaft bolt

It makes fun clicking noises when you make slow turns (that's OK)

It also makes a loud pop when going into reverse and turning. (not OK) I'm planning to pull the diff cover again to check things out just in case.

Here's a video of the truck driving. The rattling is the tailgate near the mic for the GoPro camera.

It's been a while since I updated.... again. doubleb's69 inspired me.

So, here's some update highlights.

Got new steelies and rubber. Checkout my smooth valve stems.

Picked up some orig hubcaps.

More updates:

Removed bed, painted under side of bed

Removed a couple more leafs. To level the height and remove the "ready for breeding" stance.

Installed C-Notches and traction bars, went to short front shocks for the rear and painted frame.

It's back together and driving again.... (not under golf cart power)

[mtm_seven]

Another update! Weeeeee

Decided to polish the paint that I have left. Wet sanded at 1,000, compounded, waxed.

I'm not sure I like it but it's sure slick now. I could Bo and Luke like a MoFo.

If you ever decide to sell the the blue buckets I'd love to have them! Love your truck as well

Last update for now...

I got really tired of trying to tune the Edelbrock EFI so I splurged on a FAST XFI retrofit system. It's a self tuning ODBII computer that I scabbed into the existing Edelbrock hardware.

I have 2 hurdles remaining on the EFI - one is the IAC motor which was a Fo*d version from edelbrock and FAST uses a GM style... I'll have pics of that process after parts arrive.

other EFI hurdle is the fuel delivery - I'm still leaning out on the big end but can't seem to figure out why. My theory is either another bad fuel pump (walbro) or I'm getting air in the fuel line because the return is causing aeration in the tank.

New mirrors are on order from Brother's. I'm also going to install a tilt column sometime soon.

All said and done, it'll have some fun options like factory tach, tilt, cst lenses, stainless window trim and chrome bumbers. Minus a few odds and ends like tires and the seat, it's conceivable that the truck could have looked like this in the late 70's... Not so much under the hood.
