Are you going to paint the inside of the tub while it is all apart? The body looks like it is in pretty good shape, except for a little bit of surface rust: perfect candidate for Rhino Line:D

Cheers,

Josh

I like the integration of the upper seat belt anchor into the roll bar. What was involved in mounting the bucket seats? I have a set that I'm wanting to put in my 78 FJ45, but I'm told that the seats are shaped differently from the back of the bench seat and don't fit properly against the back wall without some modification. And moving the seat mounts forward only move the driver closer to the steering wheel. What did you goes do to get those seats in there without compromising driving position?

seat are different, p/u seats mounts are narrower
removed sliding mech from bottom of seats and mounted on cross bars which were welded to original drivers mounts over tank
pass side made mounts out of old 40 legs and remains of sliding mech that was removed....
 
poor Logan has nowhere to sit
 
Build him a special doggy seat in the bed.
 
as always, amazing work kina:clap:
Jason that 45 is just plain bad ass
 
Thanks guys. I went to pick the truck up yesterday. Kina did a great job with the cage. Now I have to start planning on what the winter projects are going to be.
 
4" lift maybe:D
 
I still want to see a picture of the whole truck now that the bed is all done; any chance?
