Canadian build up !!!

Look like this for now with his new freshly installed canvas top

New seat installed ..... Simply removed the 4 nuts under the mounting base .... drop the new seat .... then install 4 new bolts with washer ..... et voila !!

Cannot thought is can be as simple as that reading somes posts about swaping seats. Ya !! i know it's "racing seat" but it's not the cheapy version that everyone seems to have on their lowered honda. This is a larger and wider version for men ... i mean i'm 6'0" and 250 ... and fit just fine ....

Also the new seat give me the opportunity to slide it back almost 6" ... what a HUGE improvement ..... now how can i change that steering for a little smaller one ?? I want to keep the stock steering column but a 2" less in diameter could be the ultimate size ... since i'm going power steering the smaller sterring will not be an issue .... I will try to fit and old XJ steering on it .. the one with the big plastic cap written JEEP

Here goes the pics .........

Grant makes a kit to mount their aftermarket wheels on the M715...just order the one for a 1967 Jeep Gladiator pickup and you got it.

I'm still have pain in my right elbow since i got the truck ........ This will be relocated next week .... under hood

That's a good solid looking truck there. Keep the pictures of your build coming!

Just to add a bit to the invasion stars, they were painted on with chemical reactive paint. They would change color to warn of gas being used.

Some used the reactive paint, but it was soon discovered that it turned red from the engine heat too.

The Invasion Stars were strictly a WWII thing.......They've never been used since.

here another part .... MileMarker 10500 lbs hydro winch .... since i'm not having a PTO and will not due to the engine swap ..... but it will receive a Vickers hydro pump with a priority valve!!
