620miniTACOtruck Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Wow! You are pretty much doing everything I want to do to my lil' Tacotruck... I have the same NRG steering wheel setup also, but am gonna find a DATSUN emblem that fits in the center to replace the NRG logo. I am definitely following your build! Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 how's the ride with no cushion on the back of the seat? i've been trying to figure out how i'm gonna handle that part when i get around to it. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Maybe you should remove the whole back of the seat. Upholster some foam on a board and Velcro it to the back wall of the cab as a seat back. Quote Link to comment

I love it though..huge relief on my back especially right now that I'm dealing with some back problems..before I felt like the cushion was pushing me forward..wasn't comfy at all.. but here's how it looks now.. temporary heritage flare!! 3 Quote Link to comment

hobospyder Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Mine must be dead as all get out already, don't feel like I'm being pushed but if it were any thicker I'd probably do the same 2 Quote Link to comment

I have an extra one laying around and gonna put it to use.. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Back of my seat is broken a little. The bottom was straight up trashed and got replaced with 3 inch foam (guessing) pretty comfy at this point. You lucked out with a minimal use truck 1 Quote Link to comment
DatsuNissanLove Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Yah I noticed a couple of spots can be tack welded so that it's sturdier... maybe u should take a look at yours and see wut can help..I wanted to modify my bench.. bringing it lower but now that I took the cushion off the back it seems fine.. so maybe you (hobo) can modify it.. that's if u have a grinder n weld machine.. 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Well, I know the part that is broken. Just need to pull the seat and take it to my buddy after removing all the current padding so he can weld it. Maybe during the winter since I'm enjoying driving her this summer. 1 Quote Link to comment
DatsuNissanLove Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Why don't u let him weld it while it's still in da car? 1 Quote Link to comment
hobospyder Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I don't feel like him lighting my truck on fire 1 Quote Link to comment
DatsuNissanLove Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Nah just put some cotton shirts or fabric under were he's gonna weld.. no polyester cuz that stuff lights on fire as if u poured gas on it.. anything 100% cotton is more fire resistant than other fabrics.. n if it catches fire it burns really slow.. but almost never does.. trust me.. I work on pipelines n everything we wear has to be 100% cotton.. 1 Quote Link to comment
