Seat Fit-Up

The new bench seat was really dirty, so I spent a few minutes cleaning it with the shop vac.  It looks pretty good now and should get us down the road until something better comes along.
 
Since the seat is out of a newer vehicle, the mounts don't exactly match up.  I had to remove the factory Ford floor brackets so the new seat would fit.  Don't worry, six of the eight bolts sheared off while I attempted to remove them, so there will be a whole new set purchased if the brackets ever need to be reinstalled.

Overall, the seat fits in the cab very well and the driver ergonomics are acceptable.  It is the wrong color, but future me will decide on whether to get a cheap seat cover or replace it with a different seat after all of the paint and body work are complete.
