This may sound like it's

10 of those silica gell packs
in a Tupperware container
(no lid) under both the driver
and passenger side of a
bench seat.
There are similar containers

Hey all,
During the mock-up of the steering
shaft, I had to cut out some floorboard
and firewall sheetmetal. This is on a
1940 Plymouth pickup with a 440
stuffed in where a flat head six used to
reside. The engine is set back into the
firewall 2.50 inches. Where the firewall

I used diesel on a pair of 80 year
old regulators from a Plymouth pickup.
It worked really well in getting the

Sciatica is the problem I suffer from. This
solution may not help in your situation.
I had my seat upholstered in leather and I
raised it up a couple inches with some
aluminum blocks. The cloth upholstery
restricts the ability to adjust your seating
position. The added height takes pressure
off...
I made these myself using real wood. Not saying
that's what's going to look right if you're trying
