Drivers seat not lined up with steering wheel
The seat in my 2000 gasser Limited is 3" to the right of the steering wheel and lines up with it on the left side. Is that normal?
I bet this isn't a worn out thread.

Brent,
Could you post a picture so we can see what you see? Your inquiry prompted me to go out and look at my own seat, I literally couldn't remember my seat alignment. Anyways, here is a pic of it. If anything, I think my seat points a Little to the right but I don't sense it's off center by three inches.
Hope it helps.....

Don't know what the bottoms of your armrest look like but if not torn you could always swap them so the tear will be on the bottom side.

Brent, I see what you're talking about. And yes, yours is a bit to the right.
But it begs the question.....is my seat offset or is your seat offset? How do we know my seat is the 'correct' alignment?
What do the rest of you have in your rigs? Maybe a couple others could post a pic so we can get a clearer picture.
Thanks,
Karl

I get the same sensation when sitting square to the seat back. It may have to do with steering column position with regards to I-shaft fitting the large engines.
I may look at the seat tracks and see if they are staggered the same. If the RH side is 1 notch further rearward, theres your issue.
Im thinking the vehicle is designed this way.

Brent, is it possible to take a photo like Karl did with the wheel lined up straight? Maybe put in a T-square or something to use as a reference? I'm going to walk outside and look at mine with a framing square, or T-square, anything to have a common point for everyone to use. Maybe even duct tape...
