What did it take to mount the K5 buckets in there?

The buckets came with the truck but were not bolted down when I got it. 3 of 4 mounts bolted right up. The fourth had a gap. I went to the dealership to see if there was some kind of spacer that went there. There was but it was out of production, so I made those. I think the seats came out of an ambulance truck (M1010?). They are a factory setup for that era of truck.
 
Email me all the pics you can take of it: rufneck53 @ hotmail . com

How's the rust issue?
How long have you had it?
Clean and clear title?
Any modifications?
Any subtractions since it left the military?

I'll work on getting you some more pics but I am pretty busy this weekend. The body is pretty solid for a 22 year old truck but it is no showpiece. It's got some dings here and there but nothing major. the tailgate is probably the worst part. I did replace the driver's side cab corner and rocker. I will take some close up pics of that. I've had it a little over a year now. It runs and drives great. I replace the glow plugs with some new AC Delco, did a tune-up (oil/filter/lube/air cleaner), put a new HD floor mat in it, and that is all I can remember doing to it. Pretty much a good running/driving stock military truck. Oh yeah, it would not start when I got it. I put 2 new batteries in it, had to change an under the dash solenoid (?), and had the starter rebuilt. I'll try to get you some pics early in the week.

I ended up with two of these trucks. The first one (this one) ended up being in better shape for what I wanted to do to it. I ended up driving it for awhile and really liking it but I don't have the room for two of them. I really don't want to part it out because it is a good truck but the parts seem to worth more than the truck as a whole. I will let you know if it does end up getting parted out. Thanks for the interest.

A'ight, that answered (in a very winded way) my first two questions. Now, please answer the last three.

The reason it sounds winded is because I was telling to you about the only modifications that have been done to it which is really just maintenance. No subtractions. It is a stock M1008 CUCV in all it's glory.

Titles are not issued to vehicles that old in this state. I could give you a bill of sale, which is all I got/needed to register it.

I should have some time to take the pics today or tommorrow.

Someone came to look at it and saw the M1028. They gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. It didn't really matter to me which one I sold since I wanted to use those 64s (thanks again) to SWB the rear anyways and put crossover on the front. I've got a Jeep (blasphemy, I know) that I can run in the meantime. I am just happy to have the space back right now. How's your project(s) going?

So you sold it with the lift and 36"s?
After all that work you did...:doah:

Wasn't that for the trail or are you building one for the trails?...I loose track with you. :p:
 
I think half the fun is building them anyways. When I get one done, I want to try something else. There is no end to this. But it is an adventure.
