Working on shrinking up the Ambo control panel. Was going to just add necessary switches to the dash, but found that there is a whole circuit board below the switches unlike my simple mini-mod control panel.
Question for the guru’s
Air ride seats.
The bases are great, but the seats I have suck.
I want to find seats that will be compatible with the bolt pattern of the air ride bases that I have.
Any suggestions?
Rough measurements
11” front to back
11-1/4 side to side.
Accordion material went in smoothly.
Had to remove rear windows in cab. Then I filled space with diamond plate. I will eventually finish it off nicer, but now I have a legit pass-through.

Is that the @adventures_with_oso rig on Instagram?
I tried following them since I have a Kodiak as well, but no luck. Was hoping to learn from their C4500 experience.
Just returned from my trip.
If anyone wants to arrange a visit to check out the truck let me know.
Sorry that I was not very responsive to all inquiries. I just did not have the time while I was away.
I also updated the AC system.
New compressor, receiver/dryer, condenser, and orifice...
So the current setup on my E350 mini-mod is SRW front hubs. Regular 17” rims. No spacers on rear.
If you zoom in on the pics below you can see about where the tires sit.
I have some 2.5” rear spacers if any one is looking, but you don’t need them if you run regular backspaced rims. I used...
