50 years ago, there were not many choices to replace vacuum wipers, still aren't a lot of good choices :)

Jumped ahead a little bit and had the factory seats reupholstered. What I find odd is it seems like it’s two of one side seat? The lever is on the same side on both to fold the seat forward and I feel like both seats should fold inward to make it easy to get into the backseat, but does not seem to be that way.

They used two Mustang drivers seats. The passenger seat back has to angle outwards when it folds so that it will clear the transmission tunnel when the entire seat is folded forward. It does that in order to make it easier to get into the backseat. The driver’s seat cannot do that because the steering wheel is in the way…..

Never knew that. Looks identical to the seats in my early mustangs lol and OK then it sounds like these are the correct seats.

Nice truck!! I’ve seen a lot of things over the years and the Broncos I’ve owned, including the love for Diamond Plate, but I’ve never seen a wooden dash board before. Did you pull that off yet? Curious what’s hiding under there.

I have decided I am going to replace my chassis as the frame is bent in the front. Looking over options I think I want a rolling chassis and I’ll sell my original chassis.

Considering viva bronco chassis, patriot 4x4 chassis, and kincer.

I think I’ll do the dual kit from wild horses
Highly recommend these... I installed them last winter and very impressed by the ease of install and the modes it offers.
