First parts score

[Ratch]

Seat and belt for $65 off craigslist. Probably $200 at a junkyard or $1000 new. The kid I bought them from is building an S-10.

Hey! ive seen some cool S-10's.... broke down on the side of the dirt road.

 

[Ratch]

The seat had an armrest/storage box, with a broken lid. After I ripped off the lid, there was still a giant hinge plate sticking up, attached by screws I couldn't reach. I ripped it apart for awhile with a crowbar and pliers until I could see far enough into the structure to realize all I needed was a torx bit to unbolt the whole armrest. What I've learned about this truck is anything I'm trying to remove or replace is probably bolted with a T50.

Yes, Ford likes to use Torx's screws. It is because of that, I now own a wider selection of them.

Torx heads are easier for the robots to use. Stupid technology, we need more carbs and two speed windshield wipers with wooden knobs! Screw fuel injection!


Seriously, nice find Ratch. Any JY that wants 200 for that though, he is smoking crack.
