Started on the seating and cage project for the troopy over the holiday break. Gotta love holiday cruiser time. 
The truck came with Celica seats that were swapped for late model 40 seats which need to be reupholstered. Found a nice set of '78 style 40 seats for the rear which were stripped, painted, and reupholstered using Cruiser Solutions seat upholstery material. Still need to work on the back metal panels as they are pretty hammered. Debating on the jump seat size and placement. I'm leaning toward the longer style but they take up the entire wheel well which could be used for storage. The cage may dictate which seats fit best.
The center hoop in the pics will hold three point oem belts for the rear buckets and the jump seats will have lap belts. Still need to fab wheel well plates that run the length of the wells for support and will raise the cage and out board side of the seats. The three hoops will be tied together with 1.75" round tube.
Parts needed:
- 3 point 40 belts
- jump seat lap belts
- late model 40 metal seat back panels
- troopy bed mounted storage compartment door
Getting close to actually having passengers!
Any suggestions/ideas are welcome.
