Just got the brakets drilled and the seats mounted tonight.Still need to build a couple of cover plates for the ends of the brakets.I got about 15-16 inches of space between seats and not sure what to do for center console.Any ideas on something that wide? How wide was original console?

Is the gas tank still in the cab?

The tank is still in there. I carpeted in front of it and these seats have a curve to them so they sit real flush to the tank

What Car/Truck did the seats come out of? Year?

Solver · 07-07-2002, 12:46 AM

The seats came out of a 90's Nova.
besides the usual seat tracks they also have a lever on the side for seat bottom height adjustment(thats the long lever),seat tilt adjustment levers ,tilting headrests, and a lever on right side of seat(shown in 2nd picture for some kind of lumber support.They are really comfortable but the brackets were kind of a ***** cause I wanted to use the original holes.

that looks like it is going along nice, but a 90's nova? i thought that they stopped making novas in the late seventies? i am probably wrong though.

A 90's Nova is more or less a Toyota.
