yep

l would, it will give the passenger more leg/foot room and on these little cabbed older trucks every inch helps.

Finished the drivers side floor!!! Yay I'm super happy with the way it turned out, except the back part of the tunnel, it's bent a little, but it will be under carpet and under the seat so I don't care,

 

[45ramrod]

Started working on the seat also!!! Fun fun fun [cl

Floor looks great [cl

I'll be watching the seat, i need to do something with the sprint to get more headroom [P

 

[willyD]

Lookin good. You are making pretty fast headway too!

 

[45ramrod]

Thanks wet willy, lol , seems like it has consumed my life, nothing better to do, I should be done with the floor today we shall see.

 

[45ramrod]

Well I didn't get finished with the floor but I'm almost done, just one more section to do.

 

[45ramrod]

we cut the back of the seat cushion to get it off and we tried to cut the bottom off but it's just way too much work so I marked it and we're just going to saw it in half and then I'll cut off a small section on each side and I'll be able to weld it back together we're taking a total of one foot out of width, the section that were cutting out is the flattest part of the seat I couldn't cut closer to the driver side because when I put them together it would be uneven since the driver side is sort of a bucket bench.

[willyD]

I like the floor. I think you will be happy to have the extra foot/leg room!

 

[45ramrod]

Thx, also for your advice on keeping everything square, instead of curved, made it way easier to put metal down

 

[45ramrod]

Some pictures, finished the floor and started more on the seat!!!

 

[45ramrod]

I think it's turning out awesome! , not sure how im going to glue it yet, I think I'll glue it then glue felt over the seams so they aren't noticeable.,ps do not attempt in door welding of seat frame, foam smells horrible when it catches on fire, must be toxic, the foam isn't as flammable as I thought.

 

[45ramrod]

The upside down picture is the tranny tunnel spacing between the seat Fram and floor.

 

[soltz]

45RR, your da man, awesome seat work and the floor turned out super.
Don't feel to bad about the fire, i did the same thing and i've been a FF 45 years and yes it is toxic, limit you intake.

 

[45ramrod]

Finished welding the front cab mounts to the Frame, also bolted the seat to the cab

 

[45ramrod]

I got the cab off of the frame today, there are definitely some down falls to living on the wet side, looks like I have to cut out 22" from the Frame now to decide were, that is with 2" space for the bed and cab and to center the wheel in the fender, my finger is pointing at the front cab mount, so I have to cut out from behind there to the front leaf spring mount, not sure we're yet because the frame curves up, and that could complicate the rear cab mounts,

[45ramrod]
