I set up my seat location based on my size, so I wanted max head and leg room. But more then likely the seat bracket would work in a single cab situation as well, but might need a little tweaking of the mounting locations and such.

Thanks for the kind words guys, just trying to give a little back to the DTR.

 

Nice Job !
Are those seats a lot more comfortable than the stock bench? I am interested to know if those style seats will make it that much more comfortable

I vote "sticky"

 

I find them way more comfortable!!! And with my long arms and the center console, I barely have to move my arm to row through the gears.

 

VerY nice job.. I have some seats that I am going to put in.. Will this frame work for the 92 dodge d250 extended cab.. Thanks justin ..

 

Not sure if it will be an exact fit. But it will be close, and may only need a couple tweaks to work with your current seat frame bases.

 

K thanks .. I just looked at my bench seat and it looks exactly like the original mounts u used so .. Hopefully I'll get lucky lol

 

You should Patton these and start making them and selling them .. I bet you would make some good money off of it

 

here is another write up I found

Wow, you really did a great job with this one!!

 

I have been thinking about this for my 93 or spice buckets to match the rest of the truck cause the factory bench is worn

 

i just got 2000 ram seats but I am going to go another route by reinforcing the floor so I can bolt it to the floor

 

Has anyone tried using this frame in a single cab? I built this frame a few years ago for my crew but in the end I ended up using seats from an 02 with the built in belts. I have this frame and a good set of seats sitting in my shop and am thinking I'm gonna try to fit them into my 92.

 

I too have been considering this for my project. The darned single cabs are so flippin small though.

 

I'm thinking about getting the frame where it sits good and then just building solid mounts to the factory bolt holes. I have never adjusted my seat since I have owned it.

 

Great article! Thanks for posting!
It gave me some ideas while completing mine. I did want the buckets to slide independently however. Here's a brief rundown of what I did
1) Used lower part of 1st gen. Mounting brackets with 2 pieces of 1.5 " square tubing a cross to make seat frame but notched front of bracket 7/8" to lower seat and have less rearward slope.
2) Center consol raised 1.5" by welding square tubing across and bolting consol to it.
3) cut 2nd gen. Mounting brackets (removed everything below bottom of lower sliding rail)
4) Fabbed seat mounting brackets by drilling holes in flat bar and welding in bolts then grinding bolt heads near flush.
5) welded seat mounting brackets to bottom of slidi rail and installed seat to fabricated seat frame.
6) Installed seat assembly as one piece unit (heavy - need 2 people to position)

Positioning worked out well. I,m 6'3" and my wife is 5'8" and it fits us both well, it is very comfortable and the consol puts your arm it a great position for shifting. But best of all I now have legroom when my wife drives.
