I am alost done installing my seats. I went a little different. I had 2 bench seats around so I robbed all the brackets off them and mounted it on my 2 gen seats making the like 2 buckets. I had to built an extention to get enough clearence in the middle for the consol I just off set the seats on the hardware 2 incus. It turned out great. I will post pics tomarrow but I love the new ride. They sit real low and give my 6 ft 2 inch 345 lb self lots more room. Still have to mount the consol though I ran out of daylight.

 

I too just finished my 2nd gen seat install. I love it!! I thought of doing something similar to what you did with using bench seat brackets as the bucket seat tracks, but decided to go a different route.

Look forward to seeing the pics.

 

I was going to do it the way u did but I got impatient and used what I had on a Sunday in Texas you can't find metal haha

 

i've done it the way u did before, it works ok, but makes you sit funny... idk if its back or forward i just remember it feeling...different. I'm thinking about putting 2nd gen seats in my truck right now because of the bench coming to pieces.

 

I find mine very comfortable, and with my size, 6'8" and 275lbs I still have almost 6 inches of head room, and a ton of leg room. I almost have to scoot the seat forward a notch or two...now for me that is unheard of....

 

even i am tight for room being just shy of 6foot. i'm sure your loving the extra room!

 

Mine are very comfy. Way better than bench

 

I jad 2nd gen seats in mine when i bought my truck and the guy made them so they would sit the same as the stock bench. Im really thinkin im gonna put some washers or somethin under it so it sits higher lol

 

I like a 2" pitch back from front of seat to back, thats about max of what an electric seat can do. I think i may have to get mine re-foam-covered before i try and install them.

 

How would you go about fixing the monstrous hole that grows daily on my driver seat??? Lol

 

goto an upholstery shop and have the seat re-foamed and re-covered. Shouldn't be more than 100bux per seat. Depending on your area n how slow the shop is that you goto.

there. I got a monster hole too. Ordering seat covers!

 

some spray foam will do ya good too ;-)

 

I put shorter tires on my truck to start. I try to "hop" in to the driver's seat so I don't drag my big white ash over the side of it (where the Grand Canyon forms)

 

all of my buddies say spray foam. so i guess im gonna give that a shot. that and try to find some sweet horse blanket seat covers
