Center seat move ahead?

Has anyone moved the center front seat ahead? I have looked at this and would like to get a couple of inches of leg room for center person in back seat. 2001 club cab.

I don't know why you couldn't do that. It's just held on with 4 bolts through the floorboard. The only problem you might get is securing the bolts on the backside with the tranny there....

You could probably make some extension bars out of 5/16" flat bar rather than drill more holes in the floor. I was just under mine and think the floor may be reinforced at the mounting holes for the seats.

I agree with sixslug but you may be able to just put some reinforcing angle iron under the cab. Again, that tranny sits pretty close to the floorboard and I can't get my hands up there to secure it if i wanted to.

If you meant QuadCab then your seatbelts are mounted to the seat. Any relocation is going to have to be STRONG to retain the stock level of protection.

Yes, they are mounted to side seats, thanks for the input.
