I ran into some trouble getting the repaired seat back in. The mounting bolt holes for the seat brackets obviously had not had bolts in them for some time. So I have to clean them out. Here is how I did it and got all eight bolts in.

Here is the bolt mounting hole that is located inside the cab. I suspected it was full of rust.

So I cleaned it out with a spiral wire brush, I just ran the brush into the hole like I was threading it and then soaked it afterwards with penetrating oil.

After that the bolt went it, not like it was new or anything but much easier. This is not a permanent fix. When the cab gets media blasted (I will type up a explaination of this in a later post)…..I plan on replacing the nut on the backside. That is really all there is on the backside is a welded nut on the bottom of the floor. It will then be like new.
