Seat Question...
Ok, to satisfy the wife....(insert entertaining comment here) I MAY have to replace my really nice condition original jimmy seats with and console with more comfortable, 3 pt harness built in type of seat....Has anyone done this? What kind of seats tilt up the way our passenger side does? Jeep seats work?

Re: Seat Question...
I'm one of the lucky few. My wife can't drive a stick. I like my original seats. Or are you saying just to ride in, is not comfortable for her?

 There's an option I didn't think of!Seriously, I bought seats that are high backs and super comfortable, with all kind of adjustments. They also accept 5 point harnesses, but just don't fit the character of my truck. They will tilt forward somewhat, but they hit the top of the windshield when fully tilted. So, I would recommend something without much of a headrest to give you more tilt, access would be improved to rear entry Also, consider the side seat bolster, mine are high and makes you go up and over it for entry, seemed to rip and pull it somewhat. I'll check my thread and see if I have any pics
