I need to find some grey interior to match em but the search goes on. Check it out guys, i couldnt find any writeups on this so if you guys would like id be more that happy to put one together if you think you might want to make a sticky out of it for those who are curious about doing a swap.

just so you know , the new holes you drilled for the buckets seats , unless they are reinforced , will crack the floor pan .

also without reinforcement , when you turn a corner fast , the whole seat will shift .

How on Earth do you drive with all that crap hanging everywhere? I'd go insane

Seat swap looks cool though, nice job!

I did the same to my truck, sorta kinda. I felt the seats tipped back too far, so I cut 3/4" from the front of the mounts. Helps me get under the steering wheel, and lets me tip the seat back a little more. Those seats (i have the same) are really too big to fit in a regular cab.
Those seats look mint too, good find. Mine are a little worn looking.

The best seats that I have found so far are from ramchargers. They are the same and usually have less milage on them. Paid 15 dollars for the set including the center counsle for my last truck. Yet another reason I like M&M U pull it.

Mine are from a 'charger too. Traded 2 doors and 2 boxes for the seats, console, and $150.

I think the seats from a mid to late 90s van will also work. The seats in the 99 van at KHS looked REAL similar to the ones in my W350. I didnt park them side by side.....

ya the van seats work i have a set out of a 89 dodge van in my 89w250
