the Mikado's had the bucket seats instead of a bench, different stitching on the seat, a different steering wheel... Mikado is basically the high end interior model.

Bucket seats were NOT standard on the Mikado package, I have seen MANY Mikados and none have had buckets. Also on the package was a 3 spoke steering wheel with a dual horn, door panels extended all the way down the bottom of the door, carpet instead of vinyl floor covering and the dome light (different style) operated through door switches.

Don't forget the leather shift knob and the Mikado emblems on the bed and glove box. Also some have the little blue light in the ashtray, but that might not have been specific to the Mikado. Rear slider window, but again that might not have been Mikado specific.

Some kick ass options to be sure! Mikado rules! Limited slip rear-ends would have been a good option. Better than a freaking blue ashtray light even though I like it. Makes me mellow.
