Bench is gone, Buckets are in!

I have found myself not enjoying the stock bench seat, So as time went by i gathered 2 grey leather bucket seats,
I removed the bench seat, 4 bolts, and left the stock tracks in place incase I want to use a bench seat again, ran 2 pieces of steel 4" by about 60"x 1/4 and drilled out to fit the stock mounting bolts, I took 1x1x1/8 square stock and welded it to the underside of the two pieces of steel to make it stiffer, and mounted the new seat tracks to it, bolted down and adjusted, It worked out great! ! !
It took about 4 hours, and made a great improvement to me,, Next is a cubby box for between the two,
Here are the picks!!!!!

Looks really nice, but you need a bigger & better console between the seats.

You know, with CB, cooler, air freshener, armrest, GPS, .. that sort of thing.

Thank you Bruiser! Please PM me and tell me how to add pics. on the bottom of this page, it says i may not post attachments,,,
Any how, I am enjoying the buckets, and a center consul is to come, something simple, Just a place to stash stuff, the rover has the gps/cb/fridge/cd/tape player/ect/ect, The dodge is for work, and towing, so i figure a place to keep misc stuff is good, and i will add an upholstered cushion on top of the consul just in case.
