Nate,
If that is the guy from Albion, on the seat frames, he is a old curmudgin! Careful working with him!
Will need to determine your top of tank shape details to accept new wooden seat frames. There are at least three different gas tank styles as I have been told. Might have enough ash lumber squirreled away to make another set? We will talk more about those frames. I know the seats are not a top priority, just a piece of the big puzzel. Glad you have the tank! But with seats at least you can set in it and make big truck sounds!
The dash gauges would be great to have working again. I will be watching.
Regards,
Chris
