Got the F1 back from upholstery now to clean up wiring and get the gauges back in and check to make sure ever thing works.

The seats & belts are from a 1997 Ford Taurus.

Wow, that came out awesome!

I am guessing the seats didn't come that high off of the floor in the Taurus. How high did you need to raise them?

I built my own mounts I think it was about 2". Based on the following: the floor was raised (channeled)3" and then setting 2x4 under the original seat mounts I set the seats so that my left arm would be level in the door window opening.

Thanks for the comment. The Tonneau is painted the same color as the pickup and will be the last part re-installed. The gauge cluster is the VHX series from Dakota Digital.
