2nd gen seat swaps are a pretty common upgrade. Im actually doing that as we speak. Well... the seat awaits transplant from the basment to the cab of my truck. Not too bad as far as requried fab work. Basic braketry to adapt mounts or some like to build a square tube subframe to adapt it to their floorboard. Ill try to find a link of someone that has done it.

thank you to mopar trucks and eric.b for the info.

I have been trying to post more often but had some problems with the site. Nothing new to report on the truck at the moment but when i get back to work on it i will update. Plan on posting some pictures once the body work and interior get under way.

@ SixGun, i've been trying to come up with a paint scheme for my truck and I basically keep coming up with 3 designs. One of them is very similar to your truck (I dont think i ever got around to commenting how much i liked it, but its badass!) besides the ones in your sig do you have any other pictures on here?

thanks a lot man! those are exactly what I was looking for.

Im thinking of doing basically the same PJ but with flat maroon where his is banner red. Like six I will be doing my hood in flat black but i will also prob do the cab (minus doors) in flat black as well. Thinking about doing either flat black or rhino liner below the body line.

Thanks for the kind words. I got a lot of inspiration from the old Macho Power Wagons paint schemes. There's some good pics here:

This pic was my biggest inspiration. I had it as my background for a long time.



I put some pics up on the DF Battles.

I had a guy on another forum do some photoshop work to my pickup pictures, just to get a general idea of how the paint would look. The only problem is that im not sure how to upload them here, i have put pics on here before but i guess i forgot how to do it without a url.

Hello all.-truck-paint.jpg

^of course the plastic/chrome will be a little more shiny and you hopefully wont see the pink bleeding through. I also may decide to continue the black from the top all the way down the B pillar instead of having it stop at the window line. I may also decide to "black out" all the chrome. Honestly i used to strongly dislike the "blacked out" look but the more i see it, the more i like it.

what do you guys think?
