Two questions for ya

How much of a drop did you have on it as a long box

And how difficult were the seats to install?

2.5" spindles up front 4" in the back with shackles an hangers.

For those seats you'll need another set of squarebody tracks to mount to the seats. Then something to mount them in the front center, I used parts from the 400 tracks.

So for the seat its pretty much the same deal as it would be to go from bench to 60/40 in a bench seat 400

I don't think so,the floor under the seat in a square isn't exactly flat. Heres basically what I did. I didnt cut those brackets off the sliders like he did though.

There are also differences between 73-80 seat tracks an 81+. That was some of my problem as I had a set of each style.

Going under the knife tomorrow for the manual trans swap. Going to pull the whole front clip an reseal the engine while it is all out. Hopefully it will be back up an running by March.

Looking forward to seeing what it will take to swap to a manual. Idly considering the idea for my '84 since I have a lead on a donor truck.

Well the only thing I'll be using from a square is the pedal mounting bracket so it might not be very helpful for you lol
