What did you get them out of?

Not a problem! I can get pics of How I bolted them down this weekend if you wanted. Here is a pic of them with seat covers on. Looks way better with them and matches the truck perfectly.

Unfortunately not really. I washed her up and put her away for the winter since I live in salty MN. I have a cowl hood scoop next on the list and a lund moonvisor. I bought a 79 bronco (parts) and am going to rob the straight axle and 9 inch rear out of it sometime.

I am kinda ticked though cause I need ball joints in the front end so hopefully I will get that done sometime in the next month. I will post a separate thread on how to do that as well

Yeah I am doing a complete rebuild of it minus the axle pivot bushings (still stock but in good shape) and the radius arm bushings (did them with the lift) Everything is getting life time warranties also, which is why its taking so long being on a college budget and all
