Air ride seats

Did anybody here ever tried to install air ride seats out of a semi truck ? I currently have conversion seats with dual armrest and swivel console , but they are a little too soft and I thought about finding some semi truck seats. . Any thoughts ?

I think they will be far too high for any application into our trucks.. Maybe a leather set of seats from a later era will treat you better...?

Find what you like and measure the height from floor to seat cushion.I worked on some in a topkick horse truck a while ago.the floor is flat and the cab is really tall.iirc the base part alone was 8-10" tall.if you could find a very low profile base or heavily modify the floor or both .anything can be done,just how much money,time,materials.
I would love to have a set in mine as well!

Toughseats.com pickup seat seat section on left.they sell for 89 and up ford.

They sell seats which can be used with static base or air ride base.
I wonder if just the base were bought then a factory seat mounted toit...hmm
I'm calling tomorrow my next mod may have been located!
