New member!!

Hello everyone my names Abbiegail (im 18) and yes I just bought myself an 1982 f350 as a project truck. my parents always tell me I’m an old soul and I’ve always liked this style of truck (probably got it from my dad). Looking forward to this forum and all it can help me with!! 2FB34800-BAC2-4514-9CCF-FE106A297A8D.jpeg

Welcome! Sure glad you joined.

Where is home? We have a map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map in the menu) and I'd be happy to add you if I had a city. (No addresses.)

That certainly IS a nice looking truck. Let's get its pic in here:

Welcome to the forum Abbiegail!

What kind of project do you think you've gotten into?
The truck looks really clean and solid.

Re: New member!!

That picture doesn’t pick it up but the floor panel on the drivers side is rusted out it has Chevy seats in it for some reason and both corner parts on the door frame and rusted out really bad

I've been buying up some Tabco repair panels to do the drivers side rocker, floor and the bottom of both the A & B pilar.

Tabco seem to be the best panels I've found, and they are American made!

Maybe we can work together?

What do you want to do with your seating?

Back to stock bench?
Bronco chairs with a console?

Re: New member!!

I’m not to sure on the seats yet I’ve looked but I’ve thought about doing custom seats also

There's been a recent thread about the TMI seats and door panels that are now in the LMC catalog.

You might look at those.

Re: New member!!

I have looked at those, I’m leaning more towards what I believe are called tri way seats? I like having the center console also being a seat. I’m going to look up the tabco site don’t have that one in my list thanks!

Ok. I didn't know if you had seen them.
Let us know which way you're leaning when you make a post in the main forum, or the projects section.

Gary's body guy seemed impressed enough with Tabco's thickness, ductility and zinc coating to move to them almost exclusively.

It's much easier to work with good parts.

Re: New member!!

Welcome!

I can relate to you on the old soul feeling.

Looks like a nice starter truck! I love the way the BFG All-Terrains give it a more aggressive look.

You could use a later model 40/20/40 seat that has a fold-down center. There's some info about bolting them in here: Documentation/Interior/Seat Interchangeability.
