I was referred by Devs93 and thought I'd check it out. Some of you may know me as 07Burb on other forums as well. I'm active on a few (gmsb, tyf, fsc,...).

I'm from KC, Mo but my brother lives in Markleville, Indiana just a couple miles off I-69. My '77 I bought from his next door neighbor so it spend a LOT of years in Indiana. We visit over there fairly often and I like the area quite a bit.

Anyway, here's a quick intro to my '77. Bought it in November of '03 and this is how is sat the day we bought it.

Your crew cab may be much easier as I'd assume that the floor in your crew cab is fairly flat. In a regular cab square body it's quite a bit of work due to the humps in the floor that are there for the gas tank(s). I had to relocate the gas tank to the rear and used a tank for a Burb/Blazer to fit between the rear frame rails. Then I had to cut down the humps in the floor board in order to fit the seats in. I've also seen people modify the seats and keep the floor stock but IMO if you can keep the seats stock the install will look MUCH cleaner. When I'm at a cruise night or a show with it people look at the install and think that they just bolted in which is what I was going for. It's not until I point out the cut down humped that they realize the work that went in to putting them in.
