The later seats will work, but not bolt directly in. I believe my friend used the later seats by simply bolting an offset bracket to one hole and then bolting that to the stock hole. No welding even. I'll check with him to see if I can get a picture of the little offset piece he bent up to fit it.

Ok, so I made a bit of progress today. Figured I would go at a bit of sandblasting to see how it was going to work. At first, I had all of the valves all the way open, and the stream seemed to just puke sand out, and surge a good pressure every so often. So I came in and looked it up, it would seem that you need to adjust the flow of the sand using the lower valve, well, once that was right, I did half the firewall in about four minutes flat.
A bit of factory writing…
And I got the gantry or whatever it is from my father in law. Perfect fit, the set screws poked holes in the ceiling.
Tomorrow I will get some come a longs and raise the rear and go at the underside with the sandblaster, followed with some etching primer and some POR 15!

Doing it right the first time is the only way. I won't be able to sleep at night.

Hmmm....not sure what they're for, but not for the swaybar. The swaybar mounts on the bottom of the frame rail directly to the right and left of those brackets. It also mounts 90 degrees to those, so those wouldn't work in that direction for the swaybar.

I think for now, the rear end is staying right where it is. I tried using the eyebolts in the bumper location, and the metal started to bend. I figured it would. I am thinking either a piece of bar, bolted through the two holes on each side, with about a 45 degree bend out in the top, and a hole in it to hook a come a long to. One on each side. I have no metal working tools though, I can torch, but not weld. I need to learn.

I think those brackets are to hold rubber bumpers. I have them on mine but it's been a while since I've been under the back end to remember 100%. It might've been for the original over the axle exhaust.
