Thanks Everett. The guy at WW I spoke with said to drill a hole underneath the original large hole and use a nut on the otherside. Guess I will try them again armed with that part number.
The backside of the front floor mat (closest to the seats) is secured with velcro and lifts up for easy access to the brake fluid reservoir. |

Got the rear area started this weekend. Cut out the spare tire tub a while back when doing body work. Placed sound deadner, heat shield and carpet in.

Used the stock spare tire bracket and zizzed it down to weld to this 1/4 inch plate.

interior shot of rear seat base. It is secured with 10 grade 8 bolts. I installed a 1/8 inch by 4 inch by 32 inch plate behind the fuel tank that the upper arm of the bracket is bolted to. Using leather seats out of a Toyota Seqouia.

Let the hating begin...
Cast iron tractor seats up front. Yes, they are very comfortable. I will be adding a small pad for the longer trips. They have a monoshock in the back for added cush.

Yes ^^^ and that shelf/spare thing is unique and Barndooresque. I'd be interested in knowing how bad the monkeybutt may develop from the iron seats. |

^^^^ Been wondering that myself. I figured if a farmer can sit on one for hours in a field, a drive over to the beach shouldn't be too bad. Not sure of the temperature either if the sun gets on it for awhile. That would be an interesting branding pattern on an ass. |

LOL...Farmers don't sit on those seats anymore. Nice idea but I wouldn't wish a road trip on anyone. _________________

Put your lips onto the little tit with the hole in it inside and make a good seal. You can suck and blow but with a little resistance. It gets better after it's wet. |

Here's a shot of the bracket that the seat is attached to. It sits on top of the vertical seam that the front beam is attached to so there is virtually no flex in the flooring under the seat

a couple of shots of what is behind the ceiling bamboo. glued the bows on with marine 5200. scuffed the epoxy and drilled holes in the tops of the bows to get extra grip. the roof flexes when I pulled on them so I think they will stay put. In hindsight, a thin sheet of wood put on first might have made the bamboo install a little smoother. There is a slight sag in one section of the bamboo where the bows are about 14 inches apart.
This is after the sound deadener and heat shield are installed

A few more progress pics...
In sticking with the nautical theme, I used 7/8 bow railing and fittings to finish off the cargo area behind the rear seats

Here's a shot looking up at how I covered the rear hatch spring and hinges. The rear hatch springs should be called something a little more sinister. Those things are a complete bitch to get back in. Blood, sweat, & spears perhaps???

I ended up using the malamine (sp) from Home Depot for all of my panels including the front doors. The stuff that is white on one side. Hopefully it will act as a moisture barrier. I also highly recommend using a Dynamat type material on the inside of the doors. They shut with a deep thud.

Ended up using the rubber seatbelt end covers from the Sequoia seats on the front seatbelt ends in the walkthrough area. Figured it would probably save someones ankle skin at some point...

I'm still looking for the chrome trim pieces for the cargo doors. All four.
A leather belt works pretty good for a cargo check strap if you want something a little different... |
