Best of all it gives me shoulder belts for kids sitting in the rear. I used the 10+ factory brackets and cut holes in the plywood floor for clearance. Then I used heavy sheet steel on the bottom to plug the holes and provide secure mounting for the bracket bolts. The brackets are almost flush with the floor, and the seats fold and tumble (and pull out) when I need the extra storage.

In the front I offset the passenger seat another 3" (it is already offset about 2" stock) to give better access to the rear. The seats are power and installation was pretty straightforward. The only surprise was finding 21 existing seat mounting holes in the driver's floorpan! Apparently this truck has had a lot of different interiors through the years. I welded the extra holes to prevent rust.

New suspension is going on later this week. Will post pics of the results once I get that done (and wash the poor truck.)

Can anyone ID what year model this truck is? Looks like a 1971 front end with a 1962 back end?!%
