    The top I purchased from TROA. I know there’s a few threads with folks discussing aftermarket soft tops with real steel bows. The bows I got were ridden hard and put away wet, but at least matched the color and patina of the 40.

    Thanks. The bows were just a “right place right time” scenario locally.

    Finally had some free time to dive into the jump seats. Started with the passengers side, got 3/4 done with the back pad and realized the bottom fold over flap was too wide.

    Started in on the jump seats. Decided to leave them patina for now and just converted whatever rust is on them. Test fit inside the cab. Cut 8 new pieces of upholstery foam, need some adhesive to attach the pieces together. Replaced the bumpers and twist knobs. I’ve got the Coral covers waiting...

    The Mysterious 1973 T-Case Shift Boot

    Post in thread 'Project Old Blue - 1973' Builds - Project Old Blue - 1973 - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/project-old-blue-1973.1195531/post-13090702 This is what I did on mine. The 74+ inner boot does not fit.

    transmission hump fit

    Not sure if this helps, but here’s 10/72 hump with a 74+ floor mat. You can see the off set difference in the cut out.

    Haven’t gotten to the jump seats yet, but picked up my heater box and blower motor assembly from @Tanker120 . His attention to detail and rebuild process is amazing. OEM NLA hoses to boot. Thanks! So of course I installed them. I’ll get the heater lines run at some point. 🤔

    Lucked out on how great of condition these jump seats are! Minor flaking and surface rust at some of the welded joints. Already have the corral seat covers, new foam is on order. Big question is keep the frames patina and polish them up, or get them redone. Hmmm. 🤔
