mrbigtanker Posted December 24, 2012 Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 And you were worried,good job buddy.Looks like you will be driving it soon.Merry Christmas to you to and have a happy new year. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I bought a set of Planted seat brackets. Things are prety solid. Having bride low max seats these things are really low! I made a platform for the seat brackets, simple and easy but just takes alot of drilling. If I wanted to I could also make them adjustable with release pins? Enjoy! Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 I like it but one question is are they not kind of forward due to seat angle,but I like it. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 You mean too close to the front where the floor drops down? Yeah it's the seat angle. The planted seat brackets have slotted holes so I could adjust them one notch over. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yea the angle is front up rear upper down so you can put speaker boxes but looks like your losing leg room. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Ill just have to play with the angle and see what's best for my comfort:) Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is it running yet.And were are those pictures you promised me back during the JCCS. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Motor mounts finally in, hydro ebrake installed and seat all tightened up. Should be buying my drive shaft this coming week, need to pull the cab to work the tyranny mount and figure out a way to mount the rad. After all that it's just the wiring and I'm set :) Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Is that a wilwood e brake,very nice and are you running a passenger seat.your truck is coming along real nice. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 No it's just an eBay brake. Wildwood would be over kill lol and yes eventually. Just getting the bare minimal to get me driving in it :p Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Your fishing,that's good but none of those,and will see thats why I'm not saying. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 And question why do you have to pull the cab form the tranny mount I'm sure you can get that from under the truck,that just seems like a lot of work for a tranny mount. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Wild guess k20 x) And well I gotta notch out a section of the cross member and weld in a new bracket Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Would it not be easier to put it on a lift.and no not a K20. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 If I had a lift I would and really don't have the money nor want to put the effort to tow it to a shop Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Ok just seems like alot of work. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Ok just seems like alot of work. The fact is mrbigtanker, once you have pulled the cab a few times and know exactly what to do, it is not that big of a deal anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted January 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 The fact is mrbigtanker, once you have pulled the cab a few times and know exactly what to do, it is not that big of a deal anymore. Word! 6body bolts, disconnect the steering column, make sure to remove all brake and wires that are conected to the frame then happy lifting :) Quote Link to comment
