Yalp, Trucker this caused a question to come to mind. If within all of the automotive regulations out there, they can make a bucket seat slide back, and pass all of the crash regulations. Could a guy use this same seat slide mechanism & mounting, to mount SAFELY NOW, turned 90 degrees sideways to allow that driver seat to slide sideways enough to allow that driver seat to turn 180 degrees around. Also does those captain seats of yours recline, if they were made comfortable enough you would have a set of double purpose recliners, with just a little for thought a guy could create a collapse store able foot rest.
A seat mech. similar to the ones in front of your Dodge comes to mine, OR `````~~~~~years back and these would be hard to find, Chevrolet Monty Carlo had a bucket that slid back and pivoted out 90 degrees.

I'm not sure what it will cost to redo those, but I recently bought two leather captain chairs out of a late '90's conversion van at a pull it yourself junkyard. $25 each! They're really nice too, and updated my mid '80's Class C. You might want to check some junkyards before paying much at an upholstery shop ---- or even craigslist; lately a lot of people are taking all the rear seats out of conversion vans to use tham as work vans in the trades.

Have you tried RockAuto? They have a lot of parts for older vehicles.
I mentioned Rock Auto about three weeks ago for the fuel sender, with a possible link.

OK The rear flooring had to come back out to get the fender well in, The fender wells should be installed before the front floor also, Live and learn, A little more work but its installed now.
The floor was one of the things I might have been able to help with if I had seen your build early on. I read that the original floor was a double OSB panel with foam insulation sandwiched between ... also that it was a single sheet. I didn't read the section of your thread when the new floor went in, but maybe this will help for rebuilding it now.
On some post and beam type buildings with wide span rafters engineered panels made of OSB and styrafoam are used. They foam is cut to the same size as the OSB ply, but when they're glued together the plywood is set in about two inches from two sides of the styrafoam. The panels then fit together tongue and groove for strength, and to make it more water tight.
I think you mentioned something early about a black tar like substance painted on too. I built a flatbed for a PU years ago, using pressure treated lumber for the deck. I coated the bottom with Henry's roofing cement with a course brush and roller. It held up as long as I had the truck
