Project FSJ diesel

[altrocker1]

I bet that would hurt...and you would look funny too...funnier, that is.:wave1:

hey...i resemble that remark....


todays progress:

doorless j10...hmm....probably not. but for now what the heck

stripped long block...there are certainly a lot of similarities to a 4.0, but some of the manifold bolts in the back were a serious pain.

bye bye seat...im contemplating buckets, but i kind of like bench seats.

I have to be honest that I am surprised at your immediate progress. I commend you on not sitting on a project like so many do. Kudos and keep up the good work!

i vote bench.

 

[RedHeep]

In a regular cab where you never have space to put your stuff, I like buckets and a console.

I have two benches in my crewcab.

i guess for me i was just trying to retains some of the stock features, but buckets might be the way to go. this truck is so simple that im thinking a lot of buckets will fit if you fab up some brackets for them. plus the truck is currently an auto, but will be converted to a manual so just for the very fact that it will be less of a pain in the ass, the buckets might be worth my while. the stock bench is definitely done for unless i can find a good upholstery shop

Call me a sentimental, but an old truck should have a bench.

i was thinking it.

But manual transmissions are not. Come to think of it, all the times I have received roadhead it was in a vehicle with buckets.

...and automatics.

We are discussing the difficulties a Human Female has with the road head, not a friend of the canine species!
