This 1989 Dodge Raider is a great example of
how a person with ingenuity can take what they have and make it suit any
purpose. |
| Custom Side-Facing Rear Jump Seats |
After Guy decided he'd like to have more than one passenger, without losing
all his cargo space with the standard rear mini-bench, he set out to make a
custom rear folding jump-seat. His goal was to minimize space intrusion. As you
can tell by the pictures, Guy's latest project was a success.
 |
| The rear seat folds out of the way, without eating
up cargo space |
 |
| The custom seat looks OEM, and even the upholstery
matches. |
 |
| The jump-seat is quickly ready for action, by simply
folding it down. |
| This Shiny Truck Gets Used! |
This truck, despite its shine, gets plenty of hard use in
Guy's home state of Massachusetts, as well as surrounding areas in the
Northeastern US.

Guy takes this truck.
