I got the front seats out of a late 80's Crown Vic. They are blue velour, which matches my interior scheme. I fabbed up some supports to make them fit. MUCH BETTER THAN BENCH !!!!! I even hooked up the adjustment motor so I have a power driver seat. With the tank behind them, I can't adjust them much but they work just fine anyway. I built a console for the space between (with two cupholders) and a nice stained / varnished board for the space between the backs to hide the tank. I fastened it to the tank with velcro and felt pads to eliminate rattling. I am very pleased.

Looks like a good idea, what were the mounts made of? A brief description would be nice. Thanks, keep on Ford trucking!

Sounds good, just to get an idea of the height off the floor would be great. Thanks and happy Ford trucking!
