Slow progress report here.
The seat in the truck was beat and beyond attempting to repair so I put an 88-94 seat in it. I'm not proud of the fact that the truck has a blue interior with a now grey seat, but it was just sitting in my shop and it's a whole lot nicer and more comfortable than the old original one is. That was a quick easy project to make the drive quality a lot nicer.
I'll do an entire interior project all at one time shortly. It's getting to be real winter here and I need this thing up and going to haul hay with right now. I am collecting interior parts for it already though.
