Thanks! To answer your question, I had a *little* trouble drilling the holes (two of them ended up being over the drive shaft, so that was fun trying to bolt in) but other than that, the only other problem I had was the middle hump screw in the front-the bracket needed a spacer, however (don't laugh) I just happen to have taken the spacer off the back of my truck because I put on a Tailgate net (when I got the truck back from the shop, the tailgate was beyond repair, so I didn't have one) and it fit perfectly!

It was like the spacer was made for it.

Other than the minor issues, it fit like a glove.

I love it!!! I'm looking for a set like those, did you relocate the gas tank?

No relocation necessary-in fact, other than drilling new holes I just had to add a shim (I'll take a pic and post it) and that was about it.

Now I'm toying with the idea of sending power to the power seats that are builtin....mmmm

Looks good. What mods did you have to make?

72BlckButy · 03-26-2008, 05:27 AM

Nice score! The seats look good.

muscletrucks · 03-26-2008, 06:27 AM

kewl

The seat backs would almost look like buddy buckets without the head rests. Looks real nice, and condition looks good also.

??? they dont look anything like buddy buckets to me, other than the fact there is a center jump seat

Slammed70 · 03-26-2008, 02:02 PM

Man, take the head rests off and they would tuck flush with the window. Sexy sexy.

496stroker1 · 03-26-2008, 07:35 PM

No way! I like the headrests!

elektrik · 03-27-2008, 02:39 AM

As promised, here's the *only* modification I had to perform.

retselgerg · 03-27-2008, 03:06 AM

the grey looks good with the red,
i also went with a late model seat,
are you gonna stay with the older syle seat belts?

Now that's the question of the day. I was reading a rather heated debate about 3 point versus lap belts and frankly, I'm not sure. I want my child to be safe, and I actually think upgrading the seat to this one will help (because of the head support) but I'm still unsure about messing with the lap belts.... At the very least, I'll get "new" lap belts, since the old ones are now the wrong color (since the interior's red)

looks good

SATX · 03-27-2008, 06:17 AM

The seats look great. Well done. My family and I will be moving back home to San Antonio this summer. How's the selection at pick n pull for our trucks? I look forward to having more yards from which to choose.

Well, I got the seats from the pick and pull in South S.A. so I'd say good..

Haven't looked at the carcasses for our year in detail, but I saw at least 2 in *ok* condition..

joedoozer · 03-27-2008, 06:41 AM

Man when I read like half your post, I thought you got the kids seat at a pick and pull. Haha I was like what the hell! Haha

zerwar · 03-27-2008, 07:52 AM

I like them too! Mine are from a 97 chevy. They fit perfect and I even have the power lumbar hooked up and working.....

Hey Zerwar, pm me about hooking up the lumbar. Since our seats are almost the same, I want to pick your brain about the side "handles" (Don't know what to call them). Mine was picked clean, so if I want to adjust the seatback down, I have to use some pliers
