After years of my truck working "ok" but not right, it finally is great now. Local place made me like my truck again , so decided to fix it up.

Stainless steel seat platform all welded. PT Cruiser seats fit with late 90's Dodge truck center section.
Next to make the brackets to install into the truck.
Got the brackets made and weld. Fits great.
Now took them back out to weld up the cracks in the floor caused by the stock seats.
Got the floor cracks all welded up today.
Got the headliner glued on and trimmed.
Scuffed up the floor and then wiped it down with cleaner.
Brushed in the bedliner.
Nice, what year is this truck? Any pics of the whole thing?
1992. Extended cab, 4x4 diesel.
I used brush on Herculiner. Not sure how hard it gets. I have a factory style, insulated rubber mat thats going down on top of it.
What did the shop end up doing?
Intercooler hose leak fixed. Fuel pin and adjustment.
Also while at it a water pump, idler pull and belt.
They said the adjustments were all wrong.
".................
before that I installed new injectors, a lift pump and a rebuilt injection pump.
i also did all new brakes and a rebuilt trans.
One ugly colored door panel off and the grey one installed.
traded a pair of engine mounts for the pair of door panels.
Oh ok, that's good that it's fixed. I was just thinking if you ever got the fuel mileage thing figured out or not. I got a 91 non intercooled a while back and I've done a lot to it. Added intercooler, put an he351 on it, and tuned the pump.
Did you add a timing spacer? The timing spacer is an awesome piece.
Got a new latch installed, sometimes the door wouldn't stay closed. Now it does.
Also added the grey door panel.
Test fit a 2nd gen back seat to my 1st gen. NO leg room, but would make a good nap bed while traveling.
cool. nice job. :)

Made stainless steel boxes for the seat to bolt down to. They bolt to the truck using the holes the old jump seats were attached with.
Rear seat.
I shortened the seat bottom 5 inches today. Took it all a part and cut the steel seat frame.
The original seat foam is pretty thin and it sits on a canvas sling.
Since the sling is now 5 inches to long and cant tighten it, I welded steel mesh on the bottom and then added
foam plus the original foam because it wraps around the front bar. Had to revise the latch system....which was the
hardest part of the job really. Used zip ties to hold the seat cover in place.
Installed and works pretty well. Kids can fit back there now. Or can be used for a emergency nap while traveling.
Or to toss luggage in there if you flip up the seat bottom.
First I used something like dynomat on the trucks ceiling.
Then my gal helped me install the headliner into the truck.
Added a few pieces of the trim.
Then did the mat and insulation on the floor.
Added the rubber floor mat, but it needs to get warm to "relax" a little
so I can install it right. Will do that tomorrow with a electric heater.
