Thanks guys, I finally got it up. Actually my b/f did. I vaccumed as much sand as I could with the shop vac. B/f ended up using a prybar to pull it up. The entire underneath of the seat was full of sand. The holes where the latches are were filled with sand. I don't know what the heck that guy did with all that sand, but it made me nutty!! I was so frustrated. I called the paint shop this morning and told them I would bring the truck in this weekend. I need more time to tear apart the truck. I still have to get the carpet/padding out. And remove everything from the truck. I also want to remove all my lights, bumpers and trim before taking it down. I don't want stuff masked off. They are spot welding 45 holes to cover the holes where the body moulding was that i removed, fixing 2 dents, doing a full color change, so they are going to paint my interior bed, tailgate, inside doors etc also. The only thing they wont paint for me is my dash. Anyway... I have lots of work to get to. Thanks again.
