Re: Another 59 with LS
Nice build man! I have a thing for 59 stepsides with 5.3's & 8.8's
![]() Have you picked up a drive shaft yet? FWIW, mine is currently at the driveline shop being shortened to fit my truck. I'm running the same drivetrain as you (5.3/4l60e-Explorer 8.8) and I went with a shortened aluminum police Crown Vic shaft. |

Re: Another 59 with LS
Scored a set of 2007 suburban 8 way seats. After much discussion w other on this board I'm"hot wired" the seats and have them running. Starting the mounts. Basically using 3/16 plate and bolting thru the floor into original mounts.
