Took a second gen power seat assembly I had in my carport and put it in my truck with ramcharger seats installed.

Trimmed away more carpet from when I installed the RC seats. Had to drille new holes but had to for the RC seats anyway. Now I just gotta fill the old ones I made.


This is with it raised up all the way.




This process should work with first gen buckets as well. I had to remove the center console brackets on the side and drill new holes in the rails of the power assemble to bolt my seat onto once I removed the RC slider rails.

Tomorrow I will tackle that back outer mount. I shoulda made the seat inward about an inch as the arm rest on the door hits the seat but barely and it feels good there so. Also I have to do the wiring which is just a power and a ground then mount the switch setup which will be mounted to the front outer mount.

I will finish this up and update tomorrow or the day after. Might be another one for the sticky.

Thanks man. I think for the back bracket. I have a lift block left over from the body lift on my old GMC S15 so I may use that. Second gens have power with the key off so I may run an in line fuse and bring the power right off the battery then ground the system to one of the mounting bolts.

The plug on the wiring has two male flat butt connectors so I can use two female Butt connectors as long as the whole connector is covered and then use some black electrical tape to keep them from coming undone.Then I can make up two little tabs to mount the switch to the front outer bracket easy enough from a piece of scrap tin I have laying around.

Oh the mounting bracket and seat adjusters off my drivers seat are going onto the pass side so it can be adjusted and to get rid of the stupid hump in the bracket so you feel it on every bump.

Got an Update for whoever is interested.

Like I said I had a bunch of nylon pucks leftover from a body lift kit I had on my old S15. I still need to paint them to match the bracket but they work.


Also as you can see I have the switch mounted up that panel also needs to be painted but again it works.



If I had to do it again I would have mounted the seat about another 2 inches inward so I could get to the switches better but I may bring them up into my center console in the middle later on.
