First bucket project

[Kyle Schaeffer]

Just picked up my first bucket. I don't know much about them but I've always loved them. This one comes with a .60 over 350 mated to a turbo 400. I would love some help identifying the body manufacturer. Some other questions I have are.

1. What have you guys done for a seat riser? It currently has two buckets. I prefer a bench.
2. What do you use for a base in the bed? Do you use wood or have something welded in?
3. What should I do about a cover for the bed, and is there a specific hinge I should be using?

Ron Pope Motorsports my be able to help you with the bed cover. He's one of the members of this forum. He'll need length & width measurements.

Can anyone recommend a place to have a custom gas tank made? Just doing some preliminary measurements I dont believe I have room for an off the shelf.
