I finally got back to working on this thing again. After the roof swap, I had a lot of Honey Do's and people visiting, just a lot of distractions and I really didn't feel like working on it.
I needed to get the A & B pillars tied into the frame so I could set in the seat pan, and I don't have a 2" die, so I decided to go with 1.75" .180 wall DOM to perform the attachments. The tube slides right into a 2" 120 wall HREW, which is what the cage is made from anyway. I'm not worried about loss in strength (if any) with it being so low and each attachment is less than 24" long.
The seat pan is made from 1.5", and I had some scrap 1.75 120 sitting around, so I extended the rear seat pan tube because after cutting it out of the other truck, it didn't line up. I ended up having to cut off the passenger side and reposition it as well to get it work with my truck.
The seat tabs were no where near where I needed them to be, so i had to cut all the tabs off for both the driver and passenger sides. It was dark by this time, so pics didn't come out, but I got back to work the next morning and got both seats in
With the front seats in, it was time to put the rear seat back in to see how she fits...
(disregard the mud stains from when there were no windows on this side. lol)
There are two harness mounts on the rear firewall that will need to be cut off for the seat to sit back all the way. Also have to add nuts to the C pillar for the rear seat belts as they were capped off with sheet metal. I'd be willing to bet if I cut the sheet metal out, the seat belt mounts will still be there, so I may do that. I also put the dash back together, but need to trim the trim panel at the bottom corner to fit the cage on the driver side.
Also got the doors from Brian on so its all 1st gen doors again. No more fighting with wiring and locks and crap that I was dealing with before.
and i finally attached the bottom part of the fender and tucked the inner fender liner in. I'm hoping the tire won't get into it now, but based on the damage on the passenger side, I'm not holding my breath.
That's all for last weekend. We have a long weekend coming up, so I'll be doing my best to get it ready. We are going to Superstition with a bunch of buddies over turkey day weekend, so I gotta get this thing done.
