That a nice upgrade. It looks a lot nicer with those seats, in my opinion.

Cope is moist, and will stain when fresh, but if its dry it'll sweep right down to the floor(to be swept out or vacuumed later) and wont cause little skid marks. Been there done that.
Also those little cup holders in the arm rest, are the perfect size to get a can stuck in, use the cubby in the dash for storage.
You pretty much covered everything there . I used to have my can get stuck in mine all the time, I would just put a top to a water/soda bottle in there to stop it. Plus you never know when you might need an extra cap...

Good Job Will. Don't do like I did. I quit for 10 months, then I bummed a dip off a buddy while we were fishing. Now I dip twice as much as I used to, a little over a can a day.
Nice seats, Im not sure what will cover the wholes though. My friend did this too Ill ask him what he did since I forgot.

I used to dip alot, over a can a day at, about a year ago and when I wanted to cut back I would just leave my tins at home or somplace I wasnt going to be for a little while so I couldnt dip and was forced to go without it. after a week or so I cut down to about 1/2 of what I normally did.

Good luck, I could never quit if I was at school. after a night of drinking Id be right back dipping again.

No, I sure don't. I looked for a long time Saturday night and came up empty handed. It's not too complicated though. If you like, I could send you some pics of the wiring this weekend when I get home.

Huck - Seats look great - Might try a large fender washer on top. You can buy some felt pretty cheap and glue it to the washer and the bolt head. Probably cover most of it.

Most excellent!

So far, so good. Bought some stuff off of Pete yesterday. I talked with John Wood today and ordered up a valve body, and asked when Jody would be down for the next live tuning session. And I drove around all day with a big azz grin on my face, and I haven't even ordered my DP-Tuner yet!

My wife, while checking out the truck for the first time today, smiled and said, "Except there's no 4-wheel drive, this truck fits you."
