The seats are out of a '85 Chrysler New Yorker .Drives side is 6 way elec. Custom made 1/8 wall seat stands w/ triangulation in case of impact .Column is from an '80 Eldorado w/ no shifter .Dome light is from an '86 Chev.Caprice . The wiring was a little difficult . SVF makes a harness to go from the BB Ford to the truck to the column . We had to move a few pins around to make every thing work . This is the truck I bought from my Grandpa in '68 when I was 16 . The very first vehicle I ever drove & owned . Drove thru high school yrs.& graduation .Willed to my only daughter & hopefully passed on to her daughter . That would make 5 generations . How cool would that be ?
Rear is out of a '70 FOD 1/2 T. P.U. It is a war unit w/ 3:50 gears .

Man that interior looks good enough to lay down on the floor and take a nice nap.
