Pulled some seats out of a jeep grand cherokee for it this weekend. Black leather, both full power. They need a little cleaning but for $40 can't complain.

Let me know if you can see them in the pic. My monitor really sucks.

I have a few interior pieces for sale if you need anything man. Are you going to keep the stock diesel engine in it?

Leaning towards it right now, I like the idea of 30 mpg, and being a little different. But I have a 460 and 454 laying around that keep calling me. But that would take quite the shoehorn.

Right now I think I'm pretty good on parts, but I will keep it in mind. What I need is a lower front valance and a phantom grille.

I think we are all looking for a good lower valance hahahaha, I found a phantom but the guy got rid of the truck before I could get it off him. I was bugging him for about 2 or 3 months about it and then he sold the truck. haha. if you find a place that sales the phantom for the 83 and 84s let me know.

I would definitely keep the diesel, I believe you will get a lot more mpg than that. I was getting about 26 or so with the gas engine.

Ya I pretty much planned on it, it would just be plain wicked to have a ford 460 in there. I did some rough measurements and there is just now way without seriously notching the firewall and one heck of a cowl hood.

I am thinking of swapping the extra diesel into my son's 93 b2600i. I want to see just how doggie it is in mine first.

If you by any chance still have the extra diesel motor, how much would you want for the starter off of it?
