Very nice looking seats. The front mounts are the same style which are on the 2003 Jeep Cherokee buckets I have.

I'm running similar late 90's early 00's leather power seat's in my 56. 2 wire's and a tubular riser, and all is well. They are very comfortable seat's.

This is what I used for mock up. I will be making a frame out of 1" square tubing with gussets. I then will glue Velcro to the outside of the frame and attack some kind of skirting.

Thanks, I've done some quick searches without much success. That will help a lot to figure out how to make all the functions of the seats work. I've been spoiled by the heated seats in my GMC dually and sure would like to have that feature in my 55.

Here is picture of mine, these are seats out of an Explorer. I also like having the headrest, I would much rather have some protection than not being able to see them sticking up in the back window. I figure that when I am driving it I won't be able to see them anyway...
I used some large square tube with grade 8 bolts through them and the 1/4" plate under the cab floor. The front is just some plate that I bent to fit the seat front mounts.
