Re: Need opinions on bucket seats
Build some mounting brackets, bolt 'em in...no problem!
There's no way they'll bolt in as-is. Bucket seats in our trucks require special brackets due to how the floorpan isn't flat...it angles down on each side, right where the outside attachment points would need to be.

Re: Need opinions on bucket seats
Thanks Keith,making brackets probably wouldn't be a problem. Does anybody know how hard it would be to wire them in, would you need just a hot and a ground or is it more than that?

Re: Need opinions on bucket seats
Most require a constant hot and ground. No real big deal. The Seats look great. I wanteds that type for my truck. I guess I'll end up with Explorer buckets. I'd like those built in seatbelts though.

Re: Need opinions on bucket seats
I found them on e-bay,it was love at first sight and they are less than an hour from my place, which I can save on shipping, if they don't skyrocket in price. I can also get rid of my old seatbelts and also have a shoulder belt. Kinda killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Thanks for the info Josh.
