Turned out really good. Seats are out of an 05 Stratus and they fit in a truck perfectly once you figure out the placement. I tried them on Ramcharger seat bases but that put them way too high. The top of my head was about two inches from the roof.

On final install I am going to make some cover plates that go from the base of the seat to the floor and maybe install a light in those that work with the dome light.

Those look sweet.
Are they on mounts already, and if so could you post a pic of them? I do see is a piece of square tube.
Shifter looks good too. Gonna put a console over it?

Looks like the seats fit the cab nicely

Just a simple H looking bracket made from 1 inch box tubing and 1 1/2" by 3/16" flat stock. That's what I had laying around the shop the other day so that's what I used. They pick up one existing hole, the fwd one on each side. They are not deep enough to pick up the aft hole. I guess I could weld a tab on the back side of the aft tube to pick up that hole instead of drilling a new one thru the floor. Then obviously the inboard strap will get new holes in the floor. I will have them painted and installed as soon as carpet gets here.

That pedestal the shifter is sitting on came in a parts truck I picked up. The owner made it so he could use that shifter with the bench seat in the truck. I will move the shifter down to the floor and aft, between the seats some. Cool thing is he never put the cover on the shifter. It is sitting in the original box, as new condition.
