Updating the interior - New seat (pics)
Well after riding in my truck for about 5 hrs on a road trip my back was hurting bad.. due to the warn out bench seat..(I have a bad back)
So I got some bucket seats out of a Ford Van and i fabbed up some brackets and redid the inside of the truck.. ( shhh.. John my buddy did most of the work due to my back still hurt)
1st pic is tearing it all out
2nd pic shows the brackets
3rd pic shows the problems we found under the carpet ( so we had to fix that also)
Here is link to all I have done so far:

after that I decided to add some carpet padding to also help with sound and make it more comfortable on the feet.. and we topped it off with some nice vinyl floor

add then I realize the inside of the cab looks like crap so I went and got some Trim paint and we sanded, degreased, and painted the interior all black to match floor and new headliner we put in..
man this thing looks like an entirly different rig now..
I wil try to get some better pics this weekend in the sunlight

I think I've got Ford Van seats in mine. Comfy enough, but I'm getting real sick of hitting my head getting in. Nice work-- what is that shiny stuff? Accumat?

the shiny stuff. is Window Flashing that I got at Lowes ( very cheap )
it is in the roof section.. I checked and it is almost exaclty the same stuff as Dynomat just not as thick.. so why pay a couple hundred when it only cost me $40

Where did you get the vinyl floor mat and the padding? Looks real good, I have been wanting to do the same the bed lined floor gives off too much heat in the summer and is way too loud. Good job to both you and your buddy.

to my surprise I have not used it on the dodge yet.. buthave on others..
Lets just say I know a guy that hosts a show called: xtreme4x4 tv.. and when we went wheeling to break in his new rig "AJ" he broke his serpentine belt.. so we made one out of duct tape and zip ties and it worked
Duct tape is always a freind..
