I wonder if you can switch the seat skins (from driver's to passenger's sides) while they're out of the truck? Also, I'm wondering if the seat bottoms are too long? Otherwise I really like them.

I got my seats out of a 2003 Grand Jeep Cherokee. Very comfortable. You'll like yours.

Jack have you set in the seats behind your steering wheel and I wonder how they would work in a 52 with less front to back clearance?

Looks like the tank must in the rear of the 52 truck but I have mine behind the seat.

You really don't gain seat room by removing the gas tank. The fore-aft location of the seat is governed more by the top of the seat back, where it hits the window/back of cab, than the seat bottom. The seat has to lean backward somewhat to be comfortable.

You are correct on the seats hitting the fuel tank it hits the rear window first unless you want to sit straight up.

Got these seats out of a 2006 envoy. They have the seat belts built into the seats. They had a 40% off sale at Picknpull, I paid $29.00 each. I'm 6'1 with a bum right knee and I was still able to drive the truck ok. I think better than the original seat.
