    I came across some free seats, but without any kind of bracket or anything, so I'm going to have to fab up something. Any of you guys have some pictures of how you mounted your aftermarket seats, etc?

    What type of seat , Like the best top replacment seats or some universal ones any adjustable brackets? It shouldnt be hard to make at all . The drivers seat one is easy , one inch wide quater inch thick piece shaped like a big J will work fine across the front of the seat and the back you can make a bar with legs or weld tabs from the bed to bolt to. HTH

    Roboter...those are the original mounts...but are usually easily adapted to aftermarket seats.
