Crossed this 331 bridge.
A few hundred miles from where it typically roams…but a good ride south none the less.

There's a little rubber plug that goes in the hole... for some reason. Not sure if they're still available.
I like those Selectro hubs.

Want some…..
Just some wire wheeling, black top coat paint, surface sanding, and clear coat -- and they seem as good as new...

The in tank pump is going to sit center toward the back, right where that beaded depression is going at an angle. You’ll just have to flatten the bead with hammer and dolly to get a good seal.
Installed some late model seats in the 82. Not sure exactly what GM model or year they're out of but they are much more comfortable then the worn out originals. The drivers is 6-way electric so a dedicated power circuit was ran and protected with a fuse. Toyota's bolt pattern are 15" apart, these are 19.5" so some custom bracket were made from scrap steel I had.
Rear outboard mount. Using 3/16" x 1.5 angle and 1/8" gussets made for a solid mount.
Rear inboard mount.
The front mounts were also made from the same stock. Both seats have side bags and heaters. The passengers seat has three manual adjustments.
Front to back, recline/fold fwd, and a side lever that ratchets the seat up/down.
The drivers seat had 16 wires to decipher, Turns out two red power wires and two black ground is all that's required to power to the three motors.
Installed and working fine. I'm gonna enjoy the ride a bit more.
Turns out there's a Black Widow living under the passengers seat. I got a glimpse of her after instal. IDK how I didn't get bit as I handles this seat numerous times during fit-up. Gonna try to sneak up on her with the shop vac.
Have an awesome weekend!

If you're giving them away.
They were originally on my forty. Couldn't find the parts when one broke. So I went with Warn.

Was going to sell them eventually but if you’re interested, they’re yours for cost of shipping.
Refreshed the hardtop with Rust Oleum Marine top Coat around the outside perimeter . Last time was 10 years ago? Before/After
Started out with intention of just replacing heater valve but…….. noticed how crusty some of the radiator hoses and tubes for the heater/oil cooler looked so why not just do those too while the coolant is drained….. remembered that I had a new fan belt and since I removed the alternator to get to some of the hoses, why not do that as well……. alternator bracket looked kinda bad so why not clean it, prime and repaint while it’s off….. then realized this sh!t is getting outa hand!
Buttoned everything back up and got her refilled, burped and running to check for any leaks (none so far)
Observation about the radiator hoses:
1. I didn’t have any issues but since I had no idea when they’d last been done, a preemptive strike seemed prudent! PO really loved him some worm gear hose clamps - I changed most of them to wire clamps from Toyota ($.43 a pop ain’t bad!) I liked the clamps that were included in the SOR set and decided to use ‘em.
2. I hope I never have to do this again - getting to some of the hoses/clamps left my knuckles and arms looking like I just broke up a ‘girl-fight’
