I could never come up with some decent stock seats for my EB. So I thought I would go after market, but, that was really too much cash..for me..I thought that would be the last resort..

so I came across these I30 Ifinity seats, $125 for two,a place in KC has a butt load of them in their attic space...must be like 20 diff. sets, leather, had to do a little mod. , ...basically had to buy two pieces of plate steal 2"x1/8"x48", ..but they work great, electric too....

 

Ford E-van Captain seats in mine comfy as hell :thumbup

only needed to drill few holes.

 

would love more info/pics of this.....thats the way i want to go too!

 

Does the back seat move at all? I have the front bench and keep it pushed all the way back and I still feel I am right on top of the steering wheel. What's worse is that I am relativley short at 5'8".

 

ill add my 2 cent...

i did the bench to bucket swap a month ago. the bench seat mounting holes are not the same for the buckets. the holes are there for the buckets however, under the carpet/vinyl. the holes do not have threads in them, you have to tap them. after that they bolt right in, but you will have a stud still there on each side of the truck where the bench used to mount.

 

:banghead what tap size?????????????

 

I got my seat covers custom made at my local swapmeet. 20 bucks for the front and 20 for the back and they threw in a custom dash cover. All the same color and material. I just didn't like the original black leather seats, to hot in the Cali sun. They are nice because you can pull them off to wash them.

 

Here are mine. They are a nylon type material made by Sadleman. It has pockets everywhere and is very handy. There were $35 a piece. The stitching is pretty shitty and has busted in a few places. Not bad overall. Big upgrade from the stock seats. The guy that owned it before me treated the interior like crap. You can see a nice big stain in the carpet on the bottom of the pic. They make one to match the bench as well, but the place I bought them at didn't carry the same color in the bench variety.

 

yeah good thread. im gonna pirate smilebry's post becase it fits into an idea i have had for a while.

Corbeau sport seats in mine.

i'm running 2002 Toyota Celica seats. i just welded a flat bar from one rail to other and bolted it to the old factory mounts. Whats also good is the passenger side seat will tilt and slide for easy access to the rear seats.

 

I rebuilt the foam in my 86' Eddie Bauer seats

It gets rid of the toilet feel they get as they age (your @$$ touches the sides, but not the middle).

for next to nuthin' and they feel great now. All it cost me was a box full of hog rings and a pair of hog ring pliers, some 1" foam and the special non-melting spray can of foam rubber adhesive.

Cut the hog rings and remove the seat bottom covers. Cut the center piece for foam, then the side bolsters, spray them and the original seat foam, wait 4 minutes and stick em on. After that pull the covers back over and install the new hog rings.

While you're in there, tighten all bolts, especially the floor and track to seat bolts.

I did this not just cause' Iz cheap, but also because precious few other seats out there are as large or have armrests.

Dirt cheap, damned easy and darned effective

Pics?

 

Good thread idea! Maybe I could add something?

I'm interested in adding a small middle seat that folds down into an armrest like late model trucks. Anyone done this???

I did in my F150, I used outland brand seats. they were about $800.00 minus shipping.

 

I just went to Wal-Mart and bought the $16 seat covers. They're a little like Doba's, but the bungee cords are on the back and there are pockets going up the sides of the seat and around the bottom, I think there are something like 12 pockets on each seat-cover.

They sure do beat the duct-tape upolstery that was in it when I got it.

 

I dont have pics of them, but I just bought some Camo seat covers from Advance Auto. Seem nice, haven't put them on yet.

Yeah, well sorta.

Take a look at my seat swap thread:

Just get the center section and seat belt receptacles out of a junker.

 

I want to find a cheap seat that will help keep you in the rig in off camber spots. While my eddie bauer seats are comfy, they do not provide much support off road. I like the celica seats with the side bolsters. Anyone else have some junkyard gold that has more side support that the ford stuff?

 

i have some of those camo ones.. i love them. the cover the back of the seat too

 

I got mine from a '95 GT 'stang.

Covered them with Cover King seat covers(bought from Checker. $200 for both).

Cover King makes them for the bko buckets, w/armrest as well. They're the same price($200).

There rear bench is $200 as well. I havent bought that yet though.

Adapted them to the stock sliders. I only had to drill 2 extra holes.

Summit sells a cheap sport seat: http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=SUM-G1159&N=700+115&autoview=sku

I've seen them as low as $170 each. There was a vendor over at corral, who had was selling them @ $200 a pair, but that was a while ago.

 

summits seat is the same as the one i saw t kragen for 119. jegs has some nice seats for about 150 with some adjustability to them. Cant vouch for comfort, but they seem nice. id love the mastercraft baja's, but $$$$$$$. OTH, i need a mastercraft or similar bench for the rear, to integrate into the cage so the kid will be safe.

I used to have a 93 GT (anal)Probe and I loved the stock seats in that thing. They had the side bolsters, holes in the backs for harnesses or whatever. The side bolsters and lumbar were powered so you could make the seat REAL tight, you didn't move. I see a bunch in the yards, but I don't know if the GT ones were different.

 

I did in my F150, I used outland brand seats. they were about $800.00 minus shipping.

I was actually looking at their center seat. Today I found that Summit sells it for $65. I'm not really interested in replacing the two buckets as they are in near-new condition. Plus, They will be replaced when I cage the truck and go to a race-style bucket.

 

Anyone know what seat have the pull out leg support thingy? I could really use a set of those

 

83-88 Thunderbird TurboCoupe seats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have a 88 TC parts car with the porno red interior with excellent seats in them. Guess what they are going into They will actually match. They have side bolsters and leg support pullouts. They keep you planted in the seat perfectly. Never felt akward when I am hammering the bends hard in my street car, you are right there and glued in!! They also feel like you got off a recliner after a 4 or 5 hour trip, VERY comfy! Highly suggested!!

 

i have stock bucket seats they have no head rest and are low backing passenger seat lifts up and goes forward while the driver seat the back just moves i would like to get another like the passenger but the salvage yards are fresh out

Man I could not be happier with the seats I pulled out of the Jeep. They are very comfortable and have a deep bottom the the race seats don't. They get a gold star since I did that whole jump for your life thing and walked away alive and in no pain. With all that G force they are still as good as they were the day before and I have no plans to change them out. 1/2 day off sale at the local JY and I picked the pair up for $50.
