I bought a 48 1 Ton a couple months ago and just finished getting all of the mechanical systems working correctly, now I want to move onto the interior. My main goal is for my fiance to willingly get in for a ride.

I need to replace a couple pieces, but from what I can tell most everything is there and in good shape. The order I was going to tackle everything was seat, doors, floors, then dash.

My seat feels like the driver side springs are fairly worn in. There was a seat rebuilding kit on LMC that claims to fix springs, as well as new padding etc. Does any one have experience with this? I also saw one on Jim Carter but it did not say anything about springs.

When it comes to the floor, I saw various forms on sound dampening padding and floor mats on chevs of the 40's and LMC. Does the sound dampening padding work or is it a lost cause? I also have surface rust on the metal floor pan, I am going clean it off, but do most people paint over the floor pan, or is there another way to protect them?

Sorry for all the questions, I didn't want to start multiple threads for a bunch of little questions. Thank you in advance.

POR15 would be a good choice for the floor pans.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Should I remove all the screws/bolts before applying POR 15, then put them back when everything is dry?

If you think that you might ever want to remove the screws, take them out before applying POR over them.
