Put some new seats up front, came out of a 2014 class c motor home. Was able to mount the to the original tracks without too much hassle. Definitely a huge improvement on comfort and looks.



Also pulled the 2.9 out and. Will be pulling the 4.0 out tomorrow.. Hoping by the end of the day I'll have the 4.0 in and start on the wiring. Decided to keep the first gen dash...

Picked up F250 shock mounts, will be adding those along with the d35 immediately after the motor swap..

I'll be at the shop where I am doing the swap tomorrow, I can take all the pictures you want.. Let me know if you want specific pics.. On the passenger side I did lose the forward assist for the rear seat. I had to drill a hole through the passenger seat and through bolt the seat belt attachment.. Other than that the tracks bolted on with ease..

I am an rv technician, was able to warranty a set of front seats out on a unit I worked on. When the manufacture doesn't ask for a return it goes in the trash.. So I grabbed them...

Please give details how you end up fixing the brake lights and power windows.

I haven't got this far in the swap just yet. I would imagine if I can't figure out the brake light issue, I can use a brake light switch at the pedal like the Chevrolet style.. However I will look into it when that time comes.. I have the complete donor vehicle that was in perfect operating condition, so between parts on the exp, and the schematics I'm pretty sure I can figure it out...
