Thanks guys! Finished up the welding today. Fixed the passenger door corner primed and sealed the seams. Then welded up a little exhaust leak.

The other day I was able to mess around with the truck. I got the floor undercoated, threw down a pad that came with and then started getting the rubber in the floor. It was pretty thick rubber( 3/8) so I had to use multiple pieces. Made it very quiet tho :D

Then got the seat and belts in and....

:hd: took her for a spin. Then another spin haha. Lots of stuff to still do but it drives once again. Still need to touch up a bunch of paint. Get my seat recovered( or find a new one) get a new windshield on and on. I also clear caulked all the holes in the firewall that wires go through( no more drips on the floor when it rains hard).

I was doing some craigslisting and found exactly what I needed 120 bucks for both! :hd:

They came out of a crew cab that a guy wanted new seats for. They are near perfect condition and look freshly upholstered. The front seat doesn't fold down but the back seat is a bit better condition( just need to swap the tracks underneath them) might try to sell one as well if someone is close by. Can't wait to get the seat in!

I was able to put my new seat in today before work. I ended up pulling the tracks off my red seat and put them on the rear seat I got.

Thanks guys! I like the pockets on the front of my new seat, prefect for a concealed. Got the truck out the other day and went to the folks farm. It's running hot. Figured I'd take a few pics of it tho.

Very nice! Longbox highboys look great to start with, but you've turned this into a real gem! :thup:

MAN just read from the beginning to here. Wow what a nice highboy :thup: She looks great. If you can fix them door jambs and front corners an old gummy radiator is nothing. Stand proud you have built a real gem of a highboy there. :D
