Re: late model seats
Here's what I did:
The seats are racing style from Summit. The seat that was in there was total garbage, but the bench mounting bracket was unharmed. I added a piece of flat steel to the bracket front and back so I could get the seat to align with the steering wheel. Copied the position to the passenger side and all good. Then I fabbed up a center console out of 3/4 ply. I have one large compartment with a hinged door, then a smaller open space in the back. I found a cup holder attachment that I bolted to the front of the console after I covered it with amp fabric. Works great - and in a pinch someone could sit on it. I was able to bolt it in using the existing bolt holes. Used grade 8 bolts on everything.

Re: late model seats
Well for those who want to add one of the 90's era seats, here is what I did.
I used the brackets off my original, and found that only the rear mounts were different. Here is a picture showing the two. the one on the bottom is the original, and after drilling out the spot welds I bolted it to the original track. then I also tack welded it for added strength. It really was easy and only took about 1/2 an hour. ![]() |
