    yup nice and smooth just takes abit of heat wail being careful so when ya grinf ya still have some weld left

    I take it you have full on race bucket thous are not stock seat belt friendly at all best to get a set of 4 point's or you might as well just run no belts at all

    I will buy the slider's from momo but I will still have to adapt to the truck

    ps I am out of beer grrr the down stairs is so far oh well lol

    yep I hope my ass fit's into them tooo


    I have been looking around for some wheels for the truck and I think these would look sick on the truck and I think they will fit?

    17x9 5-4.5 bolt 4-1/2bs -12 off set classic 2 Mickey Tompson

    Mickey Thompson Performance Tires & Wheels

    then run 255 40's all the way around

    son of a bitch I got the wroung 1/8th washer for my passenger seat mounting tab after welding them in the mounting tabs so I will have to grind them off to put popper sized ones in so the seat is safe and wonte pull out in case of car hit wall or car miss hap

    and tomorrow i going to sing my streeing caumin inword so my arms are not as bunched up


    but I really love these seats sadly I will have to re learn how to drive the truck since the driving position is different then before wont take long really
