Bucket Seat Swap



I got these seats shortly after buying the F-250, and threw them in a few weeks later. I didn't take any pictures, but I had to drill all new
holes to get the seats where I wanted, but the seat belt holes matched up. After a few drives, I heard a noise coming from the passenger
side. Turned out to be the floor; when the seat rocked or somebody climbed in, the floor was so thin that it would "clunk" as the thin
metal moved. I realized that the floor would have to be plated. Here is how that went.....



Seats unbolted and moved rearward.



   
Rubber floor and underlay pulled back out of the way.




Left side plating. I used some 1/8" steel that I had laying around, and cut it into roughly 2"x2" pieces.



   
Left side plating, under vehicle.




Right side plating.




Right side plating, under vehicle.



   
Seats back in place and no more "clunk".



   

   
I pikced up some Fia Wrangler seat covers to make the old seats look
a little better and keep with the black/red colour scheme.
