I do have a question(s) about the seat mounts - you made? in the pic it shows each bracket mounted with 4 holes. did you "just drill" the inner mount holes (each side of the tunnel)? or are there "dimples" indications for the holes?

    i also installed a forever sharp 14" wheel in my '86 C10. it is a little small, but it it doesn't really change my natural driving hand location(s). I don't really feel the difference. it does make the "belly/leg" area seem more roomy... :D The wheel is a nice piece, but to be honest the...
