I am sure you already know to run the heater element power through heavy wire (the moire strands the better) and FUSE it , power should go from the under hood power tap , to the seat , no where near the dashboard .

Excuse me but I don't understand how this will solve my problem. What did I miss.

The heaters are on relays. How will that make them cut off when the seat belt is unbuckled?:chevy:

You can use the relay to make the normally-closed seatbelt switch into a normally-open contact. Easy peasy.

Got a group of buddies over and removed the cab and the bed.

I have no idea what I'm doing or how I got this far haha.

Scared and excited all at the same time.

Finished installing new door rubbers/felts in both doors. Not a big fan of the fit I got in the end. At least the door doesn't rattle anymore when I shut it and the windows roll up and down as they should.

We had a marriage! After 3 years of separation the body and frame are back together.
Now for the 10000 other parts that need to go in.

Back on all four wheels finally.

Only has 3 of the 9 leafs in the front now since it is no longer a grain truck.

Sits about right but added a supplemental air bag in front just so I can adjust the height a little as the new leafs settle.
