$5.83
I took the front seat out of my 72 to test fit a new seat I bought a while back. When I bought the truck a couple years ago, I filled half a garbage can with crap from under the seat. I thought I did a pretty good job at the time.
On the plus side, I found $5.83 in quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies, including a Lewis and Clark nickel and several state quarters for the grand children. By the way, if you're going to take your seat out, the bolts holding the back of the seat brackets go back in a lot easier than they came out if you move the seat forward!

Re: $5.83
It's amazing what can get lost under seats through the years

On the bright side the mouting brackets off my 72 seat will bolt right up to the new seat, which came from a late-model F-150. The missus is going to recover it in Highlander fashion before I install it permanently.

Re: $5.83
If you found that much money we should have went for a beer. I'll check out that junkyard we were talking about this week and give you a call.

Re: $5.83
A guy I worked with bought a $500 beater from a guy once and took the seat out after he got it to clean it out. There was like an inch of dirt that had been mud under the seat and when he was scraping it out with a putty knife he found some ''paper'' stuck together. When he looked closer it was a$100 doller bill,closer yet it was a stack but stuck together and wouldn't come apart and were trying to disintergrate. He took them to a bank and they sent them somewhere and they did some kind of prossces to get them apart and replace them. Anyway wound up being $800 dollers he got back!
