Now I'm in the process of putting the steering column back in. I gotta wrap my head around whether I use what I have or do something better. My dilemma is, too much plastic on the Bronco II column. I have been thinking about covering it with brown leather, but I've never done anything like that.

That looks really good. I’m glad it worked out for you. Timing is so funny. I was just going back and forth the last couple days about using a third row or the buckets I already had. I went ahead and used what I had. Hopefully have pics tomorrow.

I ended up putting mine out the sides in front of the rear tires. I wish it was out the back, but the suspension and gas tank take up too much real estate. Glad to see you making progress! Never thought about taking a nap on a creeper. I like your seat(the one in your truck)!

Anyone ever use a breakout box? Pretty handy item for EEC IV wiring!
