Bucket seats
Hey guys
A guy I know just rolled his truck and it had some awesome blue bucket seats in it (dunno what they are from) but they are fairly tall (up to the back of your head) and are in a 1/2 ton Ford (not stock seats). So the width should be fairly close to what my truck's would be. Anyways, what I like about it is that it has a flip up center console with a good looking wood console top with some cup holders, and the bottom half of the seat flips up with a storage box for stuff. What I would want to do is install my headunit into that flipup. What all is involved with installing some bucket seats like these? I'm fairly sure I can get them pretty cheap, so I may have to show some interest to the guy

A friend of mine has some that sound similar. His are universal truck replacement seats. When you buy them new, you tell them what truck they will be going into. They have a bracket that mounts to the stock bench seat mounting points and connects the mounting points with pieces of (I think...) square tubing. The tubing has all the appropriate mounting points to fit the mounts on the bottom of the seat. If these seats are like that, and you can find out who makes them, you might be able to buy the proper mounts. Otherwise you will probably have to do some fabricating.

Sound a lot like my Turbo Sport 3 pc I bought from Salesco. Of course the center console/seat is long gone though.
