seats : (
Hi all.
I picked up a very nice 56 f100 in a trade. It was built by 2 different people & you can tell who did what.
Frick - he was a pro. Everything Frick built was done right. Thankfully he built the suspension, engine etc. the truck rides like a dream & runs perfectly.
Frack took fricks finished suspension and got it on the road as fast as he could. The paint is crap & is coming off etc etc.
So yesterday i went to install new seat belts & found that Frack attached the seat using a 2x6 frame & nails. What a joke.
So, i can build a steel frame for my seat, but want to know what other options i have.
Are there bucket seats that will bolt in? Maybe from a van or mini van?
