Just an update, I ended up swapping the old seat belts off the original seats and replacing them for 2 reasons, being a big boy I wanted the seatbelt looser than 1 inch and once I pulled the the dodge seat belt clip the bracket holding it to the tray was razor thin! I’m assuming it’s that way because dodge thought only children would be in these seats. Idk 🤷♂️, I’d highly recommend swapping the the original ones . Thanks for watching!!!
Man I love when people don't follow what everyone else has done. Cavi or sunfire seats look cheap. The is dope 👌 Thanks for investing the time and presenting this🤘
I'm also modifying my 2.2 I'm waiting for motor and transmission. Thinking about doing a swap for both (if I can the trans). But rn is all cosmetics and amenities
I like my 4.3/4sod automatic but the old sbc is bad ass too. If I was into serious power I'd go sbc bc I'm old school.for regular driving my 4.3 is enough for me. It's as strong as an old 305. Don't go 305. @@colesmith4694
How comfy are these seats? 2nd row seats in any vehicle are notoriously terrible. However they HAVE to be an upgrade to the rotten falling apart seats we all have.
Mine came out without issue. I live in south Texas though. I’d try hitting it once a day with PB blaster for a week if I were you, the try to remove it
Apply heat, the factory uses loctite (a lot of it) on seat and seat belt hardware. About 3-5 minutes with a butane torch and they'll come out like butter.
@@madmike_9343 before I cut them out to replace them, nothing changed on them so both still work. Just keep the button latches and original seatbelts from the s10 intact.
It made a huge difference for me, even though I have a exhaust system that is essentially “straight pipe”, it cut down the droning, road noise and fuel pump noise. I also have a 2018 Silverado and it drives me crazy how loud the road noise is! I plan to put it into the Silverado too.
I’m about to do this, just gotta find the seats I like. Also, did that center console come in your truck? Mine has the 60/40 bench seats so I’m trying to find center consoles like that to fill in the center
@@justinnelson1 oh I painted that one, just call around junkyards, they are getting really hard to find I’ve considered make some out of fiberglass, a lot of people ask about them.. s10s are becoming a classic

Music to loud, can't hear yaa ,try using magnets to hold the plates 👍
That turned out sick. Shopping for upgrades on my ZR2.
Mfw that seat dropped!!! Damn guy, that was awesome!
Keep the videos coming bro love it great work and creativity
Good choice for a swap you saved alot of money because it would cost alot to get the stock S10 seats restored and reupholstered
What year were your seats out of im not sure if I missed that part lol
I forgot to mention it, they were pull outs of a 2018 dodge caravan
Good work bud. This is what American Hotrodding is all about 😉
That's sick man I like it
This is awesome. Great idea. Just picked up my project 03 s10. I'm on motor now (stock 2.2). I'm going to look for these. Thanks man. Got the sub

Subbed went junking yesterday and picked up some seats for the daily.
That’s what’s up!
What year and model did the seats come out thank you by the very good video
2018 dodge caravan 2nd row seats
How comfy are these seats? 2nd row seats in any vehicle are notoriously terrible. However they HAVE to be an upgrade to the rotten falling apart seats we all have.
Dude I love them I’m a heavy guy and no complaints.
got a 96 blazer your my inspiration on these s10 models really wanna do this to my blazer
Why wouldn’t you use the 4 studs and 2 bolt holes already in place for each seat?
I did , the track bracket is different
You drilled new holes in the stock van tracks, I have those same seats.
@@p.b.sHUNTING ohhh yeah it’s was so I could set the seat further back
How did you get the T50 bolt out? They tend to strip for me as I live unfortunately in PA with rust and then I’m fuxked

2017
Wish I could find a buckets to bench conversion
Sometimes you just make it
Soon as my zr2 is back from the shop I'm doing this. Lol my quick fix for the time being was switching the passenger seat with the driver seat
Ha nice, how do y’all buckle them seat belts?

Where did you get the custom door panels i wanna get some for mine
I made them forever ago
The music's too loud I can't hear what you're saying
What year it's the dodge plzz
Do they recline?
Yes not all the way back like normal but back enough to take a nap lol
Off topic, but I seen your vid of the sound deadening, how did it help the road noise and overall ride quality?
It made a huge difference for me, even though I have a exhaust system that is essentially “straight pipe”, it cut down the droning, road noise and fuel pump noise. I also have a 2018 Silverado and it drives me crazy how loud the road noise is! I plan to put it into the Silverado too.
Very nice!
That was exactly what I needed to know thank you I will be trying this. Do you think it is possible to use the front seats instead?
You can make anything fit with a welder 🤪
Man that's awesome !! You're S10 is sweet my friend!! I love the extra arm rests dose the outside arrest hit the door at all when shut?
Nope, it’s really nice to incline with the arm rest are down
I’m about to do this, just gotta find the seats I like. Also, did that center console come in your truck? Mine has the 60/40 bench seats so I’m trying to find center consoles like that to fill in the center
Right on! Yes the center console did come with this truck pretty common on 98+ I believe. I’m actually planning to do a center console swap soon
@@madmike_9343 Depending on how soon you plan on swapping the center console I'd love to buy it off you.
@@DaveyYRUsoWavey where do u live at?

I’ll be honest the music really made it hard to watch I like the video but turn it down or off can’t even hear what your trying to say
Thanks for the feedback, I started a different video editor and I wasn’t sure how loud the music was next time will be better!
OMG, the music. Difficult to watch the video with that! I want to see the swap tho... But for real!
I know dude I’m gonna dig up the archives and see about fixing the audio
Good content but the music was very distracting (irritatingly too loud).
Roger that, still figuring out how to edit
FYI. Your music is too loud for this video.
The music is to loud
Yea I messed up cans change it unless I repost
