I even fabricated the original seat belt bracket, (Toyota) to accept the GM latch.

Thanks. When the truck was my dd, I would slip and slide on the vinyl bench seat. After the buckets install, with the cloth and side support, there is so much better control of the vehicle.

 I needed the cover for the ginormous hole in the floor, plus it looks really cool.

Made this transition piece to "blend" into the floor.

Cool. Control for my 350C, which was another can of worms.

My tank relocate was fun. Just be sure to level it at ride height. It's a 25 gallon, although I had to use the 31 gal. straps to get it low enough in the chassis for the filler tube to be ok. Gravity is a wonderful thing.

The filler tube is from a suburban. I believe the 81-87 tubes are a different size than previous years? Be aware of that.

Ordered this flexible connector hose from across the creek on the internet. 17 pounds, which equals 37 US dollars. And yes, it is for fuel.

And last is the cover. The red one was the best I could find, until I found a new one. Guess which one I'm using......
