LOVE IT! What were the first seats you test fitted out of? Looks like the 90's Jag console will work out nice, good choice. Details, details, details... this truck has a lot of them, and they are all right on the mark.

Hey Ben, thanks for the kind word, appreciate it. The first seats were out of a Jeep, don't know year or model, sorry....Jim
