Thanks for the washer tip! I had wondered about that..

Also, if I decide to just make them stationary, no power or adjustments at all, then I wouldn't need the rails correct? And, sorry if this is a dumb question, but what do you mean by the uprights? Are they just like the brackets to help keep the seat in place?

Oh dude! Those seats are SICK!!!

The uprights/risers are the 6"-8" stamped steel pieces between the tracks & the floor.
You can see them just under the front of the seat.
You'd need tracks of some kind between the seats & the uprights, 'cause I don't think that the bolt holes in the seat will line up with the holes in the uprights. Manual or electric, don't matter.

Ooooh I see! Ok, now I know what you're talking about!

And dude..that is some killer work. I'm going to be looking around for a good upholstery guy here where I live. Wish you were in my area, haha. I think I saw in another thread that you had your own shop. I would definitely go to you were we in the same area lol.

Thanks for all the pointers on this thus far man.

No problem!
That interior has a ton of miles on it. It's 7 years old, now! Just in the process of tearing it all apart & redoing it.

Yup! Wasn't too hard at all. An easy afternoon. Hardest part was lugging the seats into the cab! As usual!
The same with mine, too. Can't tell that it was originally a bench seat truck.

Another thing. Use the biggest washers possible on the underside of the floor for the new inside bolt holes. Don't want those bolts pulling through the floor.

I drilled the spotwelds on a cab at the junkyard and pulled the nut/flange from under the floor. I welded it in place after bolting everything in place.

Better yet!
But a welder + an upholstery shop is b-a-d ju-ju!!! Same idea as what happens in a sawmill. One spark & it's the closest thing to spontaneous cumbustion you'll ever see. Probably the last one, too! Lol! Not even a second to say...oh ****.

^ hes serious which makes it even funnier. next time walk into an interior shop and go in and out a few times and smell all the wonderful chemicals, glues, paints, etc that youve never heard of lingering in the air. just like a fab shop you can see a thick cloud of haze in the air full of dust and debris.
