I love the way those NBS seats look in there. Looks great, that's definitely a sleeper right there!! Oh, and what's that snow stuff you're talking about? It's rainy here, and still like 65 degrees.

They look good, but they are thicker then the stock seats, which would be fine for a midget like you, but not as much leg room for a taller guy like me, but it not unconfertable. Just can't stretch out like I can in my truck

HAHA, Snow... and its 28* here

did those seats just bolt to the floor or did you have to make a bracket? i want to use the same seats in the '50

the air bags are nice.

They are bolted strait to the floor. I did make some big, about 3" around and 1/8 thick washers for the bottom to spread the load in the event of an accident since the seat belts are integrated into the seat.

That is a sweet build, you did some great fab work. I just picked up my grandfathers 69' K20 camper special 4x4 from the body shop today. The guy took for absolutly ever to do but at least its done. Hopefully those bags make it ride better because i had my teeth rattled going down my dirt road on the stock stuff. I really like the power plant you got, im only running the ZZ4/4spd with granny gear 1st/4:56 gears, 3200 at 60mph . Big props to your build up.
