Re: What a thousand bucks and an education looks like
Thanks for the kind words. I still haven't cut down the brackets because I am waiting to see if the foam compresses any but all-in-all I am pretty happy with how it looks.

Re: What a thousand bucks and an education looks like
Hey, at least you have a nice seat for the money. May be an extra cost but still better than coming up with junk for your money. Could woulda shoulda, oh well. C'est la vie. I bet you could make up the difference elsewhere on the truck later.
Maybe your purpose in life is to help all of us learn what not to do... Thanks!

Re: What a thousand bucks and an education looks like
Thanks again, everyone for the words of encouragement. I managed to get the brackets cut down today. Took 1.5" out of the front and back and re-welded everything back together. Came out great. Fits great and I couldn't be happier.

Re: What a thousand bucks and an education looks like
Any pics of your process of cutting the brackets? Also a pic of how it sits in there now? I never thought of doing that to mine. After having my seat done professionally, the drivers side foam is stiffer than the passengers so my head is dangerously close to the roof of the cab. This might be the ticket.
