Bright the truck home after goodguys! Sooo nice to have it parked on the driveway!!!

hardwaa · 11-21-2023, 06:55 AM

Really happy with truck!! Time to put some miles on it!

Seat install. I like to sit in the truck not on it. I believe you should look out center of windshield height wise eyeball level.
Junkyard OBS 1989-1994 ish work truck seat.
Chopped 3 " out of seat brackets height wise. Stock seat bracket fit floor of truck perfectly width wise!

dsraven · 03-24-2024, 09:27 AM

being that low, do you drag much on speed bumps and curbs?

Quick boring video of my 59. I was visiting a buddy he videoed me as I was leaving.
