I put press plugs in the holes on the back of my cab, now to fine an assortment on amazon to plug the holes in the dash.
I had to chase the holes with a 5/8" drill bit to clean out the excess paint. The plugs are 5/8"(16mm)
I swapped the old F-150 bench seat that was in the deuce when I got it for a set of leather bucket seats from a mitsubishi galant, I wanted leather seats from a hyundai tiburon but all the ones at the yard were torn.
Hardest part was when they put the F-150 seat in they must have not had any...

Whataduece, I think your seeing the cable going to the control pendant, it a 12v system so I had to add a second set of batteries and second 12v alternator.

Lets do some math
44" * 87" = 12,528 square inches and lets say the water was 16" deep 12,528" * 16" = 200,448 cubic inches
12" * 12" * 12" = 1728cuin = 1cuft = 7.48 gallons = 8.34 pounds of water
200,448 / 1728 = 116 cuft of water
116 * 7.48 = 867.68 gallons
867.68 * 8.43 = 7,314.5lbs of...

Though the last station did and it cost less than when inspect my VW truck only $58! Then I took...
The ford leaf is actually upside down, you cant see in in the picture but is is slightly curved, when I was mocking it up and not taking pictures it seemed to match the curve of the bottom leaf while not exact but close.
