Default little progress on 94...

Got some more done on the lightning conversion. Got the seats and gauges in the 94. Need to find a center console/seat now. Only bad thing ODO reads 271K now, instead of 147k.. Get that fixed when new motor goes in.

Suspension is next,,, hopefully withing next 2 weeks have it swapped on..

Anyway are few pictures of the seats and gauge swap...

your truck is so clean man. if you ever decide to sell it, let me know. lol. but yeah man, looks good so far, keep us posted!

and also on the center console, do you know if a center console out of a bronco would work/be clean? never seen it done or even thought about it, it just popped in my head.

Thanks Tonka,,,

One thing I do miss is my cup holders, believe it ot not. Been reading on NLOC about center seats. Seen the Nissian Titan center seat is a nice swap, fit good and matches real good. Just have to make soem mods for mounting it.

But for now gonna find something to go in there, be it either console or center seat that folds.

How hard was the seat swap? Are they recovered bronco or truck seats? They look brand new!

They were bolt in. Mounted in same locations as the bench seat. The 2 plugs,(power lumbar & seat belt) mated up perfect also.

These came out the lighting I bought. Not sure on the miles but the odo read 271k. Those are the only thing clean in the interior. They had seat covers on them.

This is my 94 xlt.. Swapping the suspension, some interior, and the motor into the 94.

Truck I got parts from needed more time and $$$ than I have. Parts truck was used as a work truck adn was tanken to the woods. It read 271k on the odometer. Interior was dirtys as hell, only thing save seats was covers..
