Thinking about replacing the seats

[JeffAS]

I was thinking about replacing the seats in the Deuce, what car or truck did you get them out of ?

I put a set of buckets out of a Dodge Neon in my M109.

The ride was pretty good and it didn't take a lot of fab work.

I got mine out of a late 90's dodge caravan with the 4 bucket seat toward the front. I took the middle buckets out and cut everything off the bottom of them and installed them on air ride bases. They sit good and have a thin back so I have enough room between me and the steering wheel. I hope this helps.

Charter bus seats are in all my trucks. I have driven 13hrs and not got sore. Stiff, but not sore.

Charter bus air ride driver's seats? Do you have pictures?

!3 hours seems like a long time to ride just for a night of fun with the old lady!
They make pills for that you know.

Middle Buckets out of a 2005ish Suburban. They may be a tad big, but if not, your rear will thank you.

A guy on here posted a vid on youtube of the seats he put in his deuce. They were leather with heaters out of a Caddy. They looked good and I bet they're super comfy!

I installed 2 low height air ride seats in mine. I get a more comfy ride than my Crown Vic Interceptor.

I can vouch for the 13 hours too. I was in the other seat.

Wreckerman, I have seen you post about those dodge neon seats before. Are those bolted to the floor or on top of the spring or air ride frame? Definitely in the future upgrades but not for a while..

Thanks!

I have Nissan Maxima seats because they were free. If I could do it again, I would go to the junkyard and find seats with the thinnest back so I could have just a weeeee bit more room between my little belly and the steering wheel. I made my own brackets that mount to the floor.

I thought I had made pics when I did the fab work but if I did they are lost in cyberspace.

I used the angle iron with the holes punched in it that you can get at Lowes or other box store.

I built a frame that both seats would hook to and then used ALLTHREAD to bolt it to the floor with. The frame spanned the whole cab which would require the whole thing being taken out if you needed to take off the transmission tunnel covers but it allowed room for a console to be installed.

I used 1/2 inch galvanized pipe with washers around the ALLTHREAD to make it more stable.

I set it so you could slide the seats back and forth for different sized folks.

Ok, so I guess they are just mounted directly to the frame and not on top of the spring or air ride mechanism. Thanks.
