Stock belt works perfect.... you want the one with a/c. Also for future notice to anyone that looks at this thread for info the stock upper and lower radiator hose for the 2006 chevy truck work perfect as well, with the truck setup of course.

As of right now they are just sitting, but are gonna be easy to mount as there is a long rod that runs across the rear of the seat that i will use with the factory hooks. the front seats are much harder has there is a lot of wiring for air bag,heated seat,lumbar, so on so fourth.

Car sitting in the garage after last nights drive, that was the longest i've driven it so far. water on the ground was from filling up the radiator for the last time now that all the leaks in the system has been found The front seats of my nova have been removed, Im thinking of going in a different direction with something that will sit a little lower and be manuel seats. the wiring for the heated seat, plus the air bag, plus the 24 way option was just a little to much for my liking. ....

New two piece carpet with padding....

Thanks, a long way to go but im working on it

i lowered the ride height even more, and im in the process of changing the rear tires. i have a 225 40 18 on the rear, it was more just for mock up reasons. Going to a 275 40 18 tire for the rear. Pic soon of the new lowered ride height.
