Anybody have NBS seats in there trucks. NBS seats are easier to come by in good shape and I was wondering how much modification it would take to swap them out? I'd like to see what it looks like all set up. Pictures anyone?


Am I too late, I have done it I just need help wiring them up to be electric

Depends how picky you are. I made custom brackets and modified the passenger and center seats to be a bolt in on the truck side so I didnt have to modify the truck.

I am right in the middle of this mod, I went a similar route and made 2" x 3" blocks, 18" long to adapt the old and new bolt holes and overcome positioning issues. This worked out really well for me, as the 2" rise in the seat makes them very comfortable for my long legs with the added benefit of not having to hack into the tunnel. The NBS seats are the left and right with the seat belt built in (very comfortable!) and the jump seat in between with the fold down armrest out of a pristine '03 and still in very good condition. I'm hoping this might catch the eye of some of our engineer types on here: I'm making the adaptors out of 2" x 3" tube steel with .187" wall thickness, should this be sufficient in terms of load and tensile strength in the event of an accident? Would love to hear opinions on this!
