I got them installed with new carpet and a center console from a Gen III Dakota. Everything fits nicely. It took me about 3 hours to install the driver's seat (did it first) but only 45 minutes for the pass seat since I knew how to do it for the second one.

I used the factory mounting hole on the front right, welded in a plate with a nut on the back for the front left (apparently the floor board is not level and the stock seat brackets compensate for it). I welded 2 studs for both rear mounts. All in all, not that hard.

If you look carefully at the one pic from the top that has the steering wheel visible, you can see the stub for the shifter and how I put it through the cup holder/container console. The rest of the shifter bracket is being fabbed now. I am having it built do it will be closer and higher up to me. I will have pics of it when done.

They are MUCH more comfortable than race type seats and suprisingly, are not that heavy!

Sorry for the pics. From my camera phone.

WOW Big thumbs up for a superior looking interior. I'm willing to bet that 9 out of 10 people wont even be able to tell it isn't stock.
