    Looks good! My seats mount to my custom bracket exactly the same, but I used the factory bench seat mounts with angle iron welded between them, then I mounted the seats to the angle iron

    This is good to know. I have a 2003 F-250 with a bench seat and I am so short it is really difficult for me to drive and sit comfortably.

    I plan on doing with some angle iron or some square tubing cut in half to act as c channel to distribute weight better as well.

    you could have put a bracket at the bottom of the cab holding on by the bolts to reinforce the bracket from underneath extra support

    • @decentgarage

      I tied them in to the c-channels under the cab

    Does anybody know how to configure the new seats belt connector so that the seatbelt light on the dash doesnt come on i have a 2nd gen dodge i want to put new seats but i dont want the seatbelt light to come on since the old seats have the seatbelt inside the seat

    I got 2001 dodge ram 1500 extended cab seats for my 1995 dodge ram 2500 but the seats can't get bolted in the front due to the seats in the front sitting higher and not reaching the floor bc of the bump in the floor Any suggestions ?

    Hello, I really enjoy and appreciate your efforts putting these videos together. You just put the brakes on me going forward putting new 96 seats in my 92 w-250. I of course want to see your solution in your up-coming video. Any idea when we might be graced with that? Also, please , what wall thickness of angle iron and square tube are you using? Thank you, Dave

    • @decentgarage
      @decentgarage  3 роки тому +1

      I'm not sure the wall thinkness. I believe it's 12 gauge

    • @decentgarage
      @decentgarage  3 роки тому +2

      It actually isn't a bad option for single cabs. The Durango seat backs are much thinner than second gen seat back so they would fit well in a single cab 👍

    Hey Tim have you done any custom seats in the Single Cab?

    • @decentgarage
      @decentgarage  3 роки тому

      I haven't. Single cabs are not quite as roomy obviously but I think these seat would work well. The seat backs are not as thick as second gen seats.
