Thanks! Yeah I was going to do captains from our year as well, but I wanted the center seat as well, and they never made it for our rigs....only with a center console.

Hmmmm....... a 5 on the tree? That would definitely be unique, but with my new armrest (center console) I think I really like the floor shifter. I'm still trying to find a use for that column shifter, maybe a PTO engager for something??? The possibilities..........

Ahhhh, you have a case of 'Wish it was mine syndrome'. I used to get that all the time before i had my truck and I was riding around with my buddy in his 02 f350 7.3 single wheel.

No sorry, I meant a steering column from a manual transmission truck that doesnt have the auto shifter lever and such... I think the old three on the tree trucks are cool, but the floor shifter is much better IMO..

I thought this angle looked good but it didn't seem to come out in the picture. Whatever.

By the way, for all of my fellow I6 enthusiasts, I found 300 CI decals on EBAY. I'll post pictures after I put it on the truck.

i am just curious what the cab would look like with it since the back windows are differant. not sure if it would look bad or not.

those center console seats are more common and you can find them in standard and extended cab trucks... Mine looks identicle to this one and i got it for a cool $40... The guy at the wrecking yard wanted $200 and I told him I would take it out myself... He agreed to $40 after 15 mins of haggling with him... If I could get it out myself... The truck was in hit on drivers and passengers sides pinning both doors shut so he didn't think I could do it... used 2 log chains... One from pass. door to tree and one from drivers door to my truck... 20mins later i gave him $40! LOL

1 thing i don't like about this seat is that there is a gap between the the middle seat and the outside seats... so if you drop somthing down there you might be a few mins digging it out... my cell has slid between there a couple times...

Personally I don't like the 87-91 supercab windows with the line through them. If i had a 87-91 I would find a way to swap to the 92+ style windows...

Thanks man! I liked the angle too but my camera phone isn't so great. It requires a lot of light.
