Post bucket seats installed

Finally got my bucket seats in this weekend. Not exactly a direct bolt in. Got seat brackets out of a 88 f-150 lariat extended cab and then sat seats from a ford probe on the brackets. Took a lot of welding and grinding, about 6 hours in all. They feel awsome and I got a lot more space inside. If you use the existing holes from the bench with the new bracket the driver seat will be offset to the middle and the passenger side will be to close to the dash. Next is to rhino line the inside. I'll try to get pictures up soon.

When you say more space...do you mean between you and the steering wheel? I have been looking to get more space. Also, what did you do for the center? and what year probe seats?

more space in between the seats, about an inch less from the steering wheel since I have them raise up higher than the old bench. I haven't though of anything for the center yet, I already have 2 10inch behind the seats, so I wouldn't mind putting in maybe one of those 6 pack refrigerators or make something out of fiberglass. any ideas? the seats were out of a ~96something probe, they match the grey and black interior of the truck.
