Charlie69 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 This would be my choice for your truck. These would look sweet on your 521 and help to represent some of the gold bricks you have invested into this 521! 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted January 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2018 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Ripping all the black out which is perfect and going red like my wagon. Make it match. If any one has really nice door panel cards and kick panels I will trade you. These are covered in a Suede material and are clean and perfect. I don't need good faces just really good cards. Let me know. 3 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't see how you guys fit in them 521 trucks with bucket seats. 3 Quote Link to comment
ol' 320 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 Ray: You need to google JATO. Shove a big rocket in the back of this truck. Then you can catch up to and pass Elon's Tesla as it passes through the Astroid Belt. Snug in those red Bride seats. Comfy and all.... 2 Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't see how you guys fit in them 521 trucks with bucket seats. Arms and legs like Mr Tankers it is no problem!!! Only thing is he has to roll down both windows to close the doors, he needs room for his arms they do not fit in the cab with the windows up!!! LOL 1 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 I don't see how you guys fit in them 521 trucks with bucket seats. More room then a bench, I bolt it to the floor to allow more room. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 More room then a bench, I bolt it to the floor to allow more room. The lower the seat is, the less room there is to straighten your legs, that is what I care about, the higher the seat the more legroom, but you have less room for the rest of you(head specifically), I suppose there is the room between your legs and the steering wheel that can be an issue also, but I am not talking about that, I want to be able to straighten my legs and that is what I am talking about when I speak of legroom. If I had issues with my legs and the steering wheel I would just buy and install a smaller steering wheel, you can also install a 720 tilt column, that makes a little more room as the wheel is slightly closer to the dash also as well as being able to tilt it up slightly more than the stock steering wheel, but that would mean modifying the 521 steering gear or doing what I did to my work truck(power steering). 3 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Well I am not built like mrbigtanker, so I guess I have not given enough thought to all the aspects of fitting into a 521. 2 Quote Link to comment
