The top lid of these Frankencabs is made of tempered steel and was a big pain to drill though....now I know why...

    Ok so, I picked up my truck earlier this week and the driver side seat would not stay up when you inflated it and I ended taking to a truck stop and they said it was the valve under the seat that was bad and letting the air leak out. You could hear it hissing out slowly when you would inflate...
