Looks nice!

What you swipe them bad boys out of? Do they sit higher than the factory bench?

squirel · 05-16-2006, 08:41 PM

They sit about the same hieght but a lot more leg room with the fuel tank out. Now I probably goin to get burned for this but they are out of a 2001 ford f150 but the price was to good to pass up

Yeppers, look just like mine, except mine are the true buckets w/ the console,
looks like a pretty sweet fit, it's your back, so heh whatever you like is what's

Were they a direct bolt in?

That's OK, we know that they had to come from a broke down ford, either that or some poor Ba***rd is driving along the highway on milk crates for seats.

The ford owner probably had to sell the seats to buy repair parts.
