Re: Good donors for Bench Seat?

one other thing is I had to put six flat washers under the rear seat tracks as spacers
really easy to do and sits a bit higher than the factory seat and more comfortable to drive, I am 6 foot and always felt cramped with the factory bench seat

'course stretching the rear of the cab a few inches doesn't hurt either, eh?
