When my outer air filter element on my D7F Cat got caked with dust, it would instantly start blowing smoke and running rough. Not gradually, instantly.
A clogged air filter element isn't likely the problem, but it wouldn't hurt to try it.
Following your progress anyway, because sounds like...
They make a dozen different models with that style. Yes that's the style. They make ones with cloth inserts, and neoprene too I believe. They are comfortable, slim and they recline. I'm happy with them. I'm sure there are a hundred other seats that would have been acceptable too.
We will be going a lot of places and using the truck in parades and around people. I figured the cost of a backup camera can easily be worth it in accident avoidance alone, not to mention safety for people around me. So we wired in a backup camera. Sorry no pics of the screen :( I was in a rush...
Ok, rest up from the fundraiser and back to work.
I got a spring base, like the driver seat and bolted it in the passenger seat area. Bought two left hand sliding seat tracks from Eastern Surplus and mounted them to the base. (Not pictured)
I had to cut off the seat adjustment handle on...
Thanks! Just FYI, this is different than the other cab makeover. This is a completely different truck than the other thread going on at the same time. But thanks for following.
This got us up and running for the fundraiser on Saturday June 18. The Rexburg Air show. They had some incredible planes at this show I must say. We drove in with just a drivers seat and a bed full of "stuff" for the fundraiser. We had a great showing and made some money for Mission 22.
Run 2/0 cable from bench seat/battery holder to cab. Enter cab at battery vent in back. Run cables to a marine quality battery shutoff switch. Which serves two purposes. A junction box of sorts and, of course a battery shutoff.
Remove passenger bench and place it centered in the back of the bed.
Bolt it it down and reinstall batteries per chart (photo) and double and triple check that all is correct.
Since we will be driving the Mission 22 Truck (M923A2) from Idaho to Dallas Texas, we decided our old backs needed a more comfortable cab.
Im currently doing similar mods in my tan 923A2 in Dallas now, so the process was similar, although, we did a lot more to this truck.
First pull ill out...
I think the seat thickness at the lumbar position may be a tiny bit smaller, but not sure you would make a noticeable amount of space unless you were at 90degrees upright.
That's the problem. There is no more room back there. You have almost no room to play with. I have my chair at the perfect balance of recline and giving up forward space. At 6'00" tall, I suspect anyone taller or bigger than me would struggle.
Hey, look at is as an excuse to make a crew cab...
Got the brackets painted and installed the drivers seat base. Installed the seat base and then Put the seat on the brackets.
Like a lot of us I have back problems, and need a cushy ride. I think the stock spring bases on these provide a very reasonable amount of shock absorbtion if you weigh...
