Well, I found a rebuilt one to put on the rebuilt motor .. so I'm good on the AIR pump.

I'll be doing a whole new exhaust system this next week; let me see how she runs and sounds then!

Huh what a coincidence, I've got a cousin named Justin case too lol.
it looks good though. I haven't touched my truck in a couple weeks. I'm hoping to get the rear end all buttoned up this weekend so I can at least take it around the block and do a couple burnouts before I start on the bottom of the cab and front half of the frame. I'll get some fresh pics up again once I get it all buttoned up

Here's one of the bench seat sitting at the nephew's shop, before he recovers it in new vinyl and foam.



Before. Not TOO bad for a 30 year old seat with a 360lb fatboy sitting in it.

Here's the recovered seat bottom, as the nephew and niece are working on it:



Not completely finished, some wrinkles to work out, but it still beats what it DID look like!

Whole seat together. Angle makes the passenger top look a bit funky; they swear it's not like that. I'll know when it's delivered this afternoon!



Whole Seat with Tush Warmers installed

Tush warmers are nice. Did they add or replace the paddiing?

I had two slabs 1" thick of extra firm upholstery foam I took to them also; I presume they used that to replace the frayed crap.

I didn't ask, though.

Two installation notes about the seat belts (also replacing THOSE with the seat.)

1) Wesco's automatic belts are turned 180* from how they should be to fit perfectly; that just means I have a twist in it.

2) Dark Navy looks really nice as a contrast to Pacific Blue.

I might not have pics tonight; but they're coming.

Sub didn't fit under, but it fits behind OK.
