How to make these work in a Big Window TF

Is it possible to put these in a big window by removing the headrest and cutting down the area where the seatbeat is?

I like these seats because I would not have to deal with the seat belts, they're made in the seat.

What other seats would you all recommend?

Re: How to make these work in a Big Window TF

they fit in mine. chevy tilt column with grant smaller diameter wheel. the seats almost fit in a couple of the original seat mounting holes. the tilt is liimited but not uncomfortable. i did not remove the headrests or modify the seats. mine came out of a z71 truck so i think they should be about the same size.

Are they level with the bootom of the window except for the area with the belt protruding?

I'm trying to find some seats that will be level with the bottom of the window, it can be bench also?
