Crew stuff




Custom bracket. Rear seat from 2011 f250 ext cab ford.





F250 2011 ext cab, rear seat! Several mods to make this happen!





This the reason I picked these seats! Waiting on upholstery shop to finish! Fold up nice and lots of space to pack the dogs or my bows! Keep out of the weather/cold/snow!

Aluminum flatbed




Gooseneck and frame stuff!





Sunk the tire into bed for better vision and secure spare. Also a recessed box hidden for chains and stuff. Clean and functional. Really like this!





Just a clean setup! I like!

Got any underside pics showing the suspension snd some of what interior you have in it so far? I really need to start back on my crew but relocating took up my whole summer so it's been dead in the water for awhile now. Hope to get something done to it before end of the year once the funds get back on track. The flatbed and body color really make it a stylish tow rig. Does that Fast setup make it feel like a modern day v8?
still working the small tuning issues but getting better! Yes love the link suspension, my other ford has same setup, works great! Been running link for about 12yrs on other truck. Yes I like the simple clean look this truck has. Will be worked and driven daily!

About 15". Driver side has small flip up seat so easy for getting the dawgs in back. These back seats aren't really for comfort. Short trips. The floor is too high. So if wanting comfort need to drop floor about 4". Extended cab seats are shorter than regular seats so actually work well with this cab setup.

What did you use for front seats? I'd like to go with a 60-40 split bench, maybe something like I had in my 97 -150.

had a set from a 78 bronco. Had to modify a seat mount that seats mount to fit to fit to floor. Hopefully have rear seat done soon and installed! Just about every piece on this truck has some modification!

Frame to seats upgrade! Center console looking for small cooler electric power to keep things cool. Have a power inverter to mount on backside to power most anything! The truck is a tool!

Thanks for the info...my 72 came with a 60/40 split(bronco I guess) and the what appears to be the stock rear seat. I dont think the rear had quite that much space. 15" is a ton.
