Just a thought since your working on it now. The EB has a shelf area the seat mounts to like yours and it's something that I wish I would have worked before I did the cage. Without looking at yours in person I don't know if it's possible but I wish I would have leveled the floor and dropped the seat in my Bronco and it might be worth looking at for you.
Work looks good so far and you seem to be moving at a good pace, keep it up.

Had to rebuild some of the firewall sense the crappy setup they had before looked bad and had huge holes in it. it took alot long to do then i thought it would!
Well got some more work done its going slowly but surely. I got the steering wheel mounted and i like how it came out. Mounted up the filter and cooler for the steering too. Just need a new pump and hose and it will be mostly done. Still got to mount it to the finder so the hose isnt jumping all around. I put the gas petal in. Its the stock bronco II one i put the hood latches on. The hood doesnt seem to line up right so i drilled the holes forward some so it can be pushed back later when i fix the hood the right way.
I got the bed on and cut 14 inches out of it. Now i just need to mount it which im not looking forward to doing. I slacked off and worked on my buddy's jeep today instead so we can go wheeling this week in it. But its coming along.
I can try but my fence is right there on both sides. I will try to push it out after i get the bed mounted in. The wheel base is 117" on the truck and that was the stock wheelbase for the truck i just pushed the body back alot.
Those side rails on that bed make me think it would be easy to build some tube fenders, skin them and replace the top tube with something a bit thicker and it would look semi stock but it would be bullet proof.
Looks cool.

Got the radiator in and cut the hole in the floor for it. Mounted the front devider in the bed too. The bed is all bolted in place. It kinda looks funny because for some reason the rear suspension is highed on the passenger side then the drivers (maybe its from all the time it had the fat ass in the drivers seat!)
Got the exuast in and it turned out pretty good. I reused a small part of the old setup. Its 2 1/4 from each pipe and when it meets up it goes to 2 1/2 threw a glasspack. I cant wait to hear how it sounds. I also got the fuel system in. It turned out pretty good. I got the fuel pump right next to the tank inbetween the bed devider and tank so that should cut down on noise. Also changed the trans filter and drained the tq conveter.
