That sounds like a heck of a seat Dylan. But short of buying it I couldn't get a price. And would have to put a compressor on board. If I did that I would upgrade to an air ride suspension. Road in a late model Cherokee and drove a Mercedes both with air ride. That is soooo nice. Also worked a couple late model Kenworths and a Peat with air ride. Sure makes a smooth riding office to spend the day in when ya got plates, bolts and bone grafts in yer back and neck.

Haaa my 12 year old son has been home from school a couple of days with a cold. I just talked him into taking a teaspoon of horse radish and closing his mouth and breathing through his nose. What a dummy. But it worked. He can now breath out his nose. I wonder why kids today won't listen to us?

I still have the original seats and the slider for the driver side..plus the back..all are in great shape and in leather...let me know if interested in them
I am going to make some side bars with steps to get in and out..I hate the side bolster it is uncomfortable getting in and out...but the seats were cheap at summit sale so i got them..they are comfortable to drive in..

wow those look good, I am still not too crazy on those gauges but they look OK. the seats look pretty nice too, and of course that engine is beautiful. I am on the look out for grill parts, how much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking?

I will look around at prices. it will take a while before I can buy a grill set for TGM. there was a guy who said he had like 3 in really great condition and that could give me one for free. but he never got my contact info.
