New F350 FD Chiefs Truck (PICS)

Post by JustaBuff »

Heres Last weeks project.

Only thing out of the norm on this one was that under the back seats there is a cover unit that falls into place when you tilt the seats. This is there to be used a platform for storage. We cut this out of the way and removed it from use so that we had a safe place to install our equipment that was easy to service long term. A heads up to anyone who decides to remove the rear seats once this plaform is removed. The split bench rear seats separate so be super careful taking them in and out while they are connected. Nothing worse than putting a scratch someplace you dont want one. Especially on someone elses truck.
Whelen Lineup - Patriot Bar, Cencom, 6 hideaways (2 front, 4 rear) 4 TIR3s surface mount on grill 2 red 2 white (with opposite corners in sync with opposite colors) Jotto Desk 18in console. Recycled LB Maratrac and VHF M1225. Any questions give a shout.

Not bad... reminds me of the install I'm working on (my F350).

I hope you didn't actually cut the load floor away. If you pull the seats, you can unbolt the load floor and pull it out as one piece (mine is stored in the attic currently!)

And yes, the fall-apart rear seat sucks. And it's damn heavy.

Good job!

OOOPs. The load floor doesnt have to be cut ???Damn that sucks - LOL ... ya your right, not sure why I typed cut, just took it apart. the seat did catch us by surprise when it separated though.

I was real surprised how nice the truck drove as well I have to mention. pretty impressive the changes that have occured over the years.

Thanks for the compliments as well..
