Thumbs up new seats!

first off a big thanks goes to RacinNdrummin for selling them too me!

so i started off with the gray captain chairs with rear bench. The captains were pretty shot. drivers side had a rip and leaned back and to the right. passenger side...well... lets just say that when a 300+lb guy likes a song and starts dancing and bouncing around..the seat wasnt very happy...new mounting holes had to be made.

so out with the old



a little cleaning



then the new i like the look of the red...(just not all red look)

Nice! I still wanna find a set of regular Bronco seats for mine. I really hate these stupid racing seats. They don't fit my "large" frame lol and the side bolsters make getting in and out a real pita litteraly lol.

I still have a pretty nice maroon color bench from my F250 that nobody seems to want. Most guys swap from bench seats to bucket/captains, not the other way around.

Looks good though.

I actually have the exact seat set that you originally had (rear cloth bench and front cloth buckets), but mine are red.

Finally the rain died down so I could finish. Its was nice to find that ford already had the locations ready for the mounts on the bench. Just as easy as drilling through the locations. Now to find where to mount my cb and cup holders!
