    Hi, I just purchased an '03 379 and have a couple questions.....1) it has the American Classic interior with factory black cloth seats, the seats are clean except the normal wear on the bottom driver's seat, where can I get a factory replacement seat bottom to bolt in?.....2) it has the '63" Unibilt sleeper, on the driver's side of the sleeper, it has heat and a/c controls, to the left of those, in between them and the left hand reading light is an open round space about 3" in diameter, give or take, it's missing whatever goes there.....a clock maybe? dunno, but want to put back whatever was in there......and 3) can you recommend any good online salvage yards for small parts, etc....like for example, my passenger side seatbelt retractor is toast, I gotta believe there's a few hunderd out there at big truck salvage yards.....don't want to lose the wife while going down the road!!!.......thank you for any help or leads you can give me, take care, Mike

    I took the passenger seat bottom and swapped it over to the driver's side. This was on an 01, the seat bottom should flip up and I think there was 2 bolts holding it on..? Can't quite remember.. It was pretty simple easy fix, I was surprised...
