I know tons of people run them the huge plus is the self contained seatbelts, I can't say how big a plus that is some use the seats just for that alone. Be sure to add a floor strap or support or some sort underneath the seat to make sure that if anything were to happen[there are some crazy people behind other wheels out there] the seat would not pull through the floor boards and sent you flying around the inside of that truck with you and your loved ones strapped inside the seats.

Jim,
I have herd people all over this site talk about the seats pulling through the floor and such when swapping seats on here. I just finished my 99 Tahoe seat swap and I do have tilt wheel. That said,
I just want to say if you use a good grade 8 bolt that has the correct washers then you are good no other bracing should be needed. I looked at my seats while I had them a part for cleaning and reupholstering them. Has anyone ever looked at the mounting screws to the tracks of these seats. They are little I mean little tiny 3/16" normal screws into aluminum no nuts. I was like dang it man. If anything these should be the concern of anyone who mounts them in their truck.
By the way mine have separate seat belts not made into the seats. It is a little close but I love the way they sit + mine have the heaters also!
