Thanks carnut... the painter is disassembling the entire truck for me. All bumpers off, hood off, fenders off, windows out, bed off, etc..

I have a few questions for all you experts on these trucks:

1. Are there any direct bolt in seats from newer trucks or SUVs that I could buy and just bolt into the same mounting holes?

2. how do the 4 inch fog lights mount in the bumper with the round 4 inch fog light holes?

3. Has anyone custom made a rear roll-up window like a Tundra has into their Kseries truck cab back window?

I have lots more questions, but will add them as time goes on. Thanks for all your help everyone!

How many of the crew cab short bed with 454s do you think were made? Is this considered a rare truck?
