Re: Late model seat swaps,Pleasse school me

I'm not calling anyone out but I build truck wrecks and have done a couple hundred or more of the later style with the belts in the seats[talking 99-07 style seats] and out of all the impacts not one had the seat pull through the floor however I have junked some extreme hard hit stuff that the cab bolts did. I think 1 1/2 in square tube is excessive. I'd say 1/4 inch flat plate would suffice in any instance but then again it is a personal thing. I the first one to consider how safely built something is and would not argue this just for arguments sake. Of course it never hurts to over build anything. the trucks with the seats in question don't have square tube in them but the metal is a little thicker than the floors of our body style.
