Questions

Okay. Two questions here.

1)I want to go from a bench to a bucket. I know that I can pull donor seats out of a bronco of about the same year range. What I don't know, is the best way to reenforce the floor when I drill the new holes. Any suggestions?

2)I got a fuel leak. A pretty bad one. It was the pump, so I replaced the pump and it started leaking from the top of the injectors. Replaced the caps on the injectors, and now it has a slow leak while driving, a semi heaving leak for about 5 minutes after I turn it off. The problem is, it is dripping off the I-Beams and can't locate where it is coming from. Any ideas on other areas that leak on this engine?

This is my first Diesel. 1991 Ford F250 Extendedcab 7.3IDI Diesel 2WD

Thanks ahead of time.

Welcome to the forum. For the seats, use the search function, there are a lot of options and ideas out there.

Here's what I did for mine.
