You will also need the middle seat belts, and some of those showed up in that search, too. Oh, and of course the clamps to hold it down.

What interior upholstery do you have? I have an OG off white middle seat from a 74+ that I've been waiting for the right buyer for.

I bought my '77 for considerably less than some of these people are asking for their middle seats and the '77 came with a seat in perfect condition. |

start by changing your fuel lines including the 3inch fuel filler hose
then continue knowing how to adjust valves
