myrl883 Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Thank u Bench seats up to 1997 (OBS trucks) bolt right in, if you have a standard cab. If you want buckets or 40/20/40 seats, you have to get the flat mounting base from a 1994-1997 crew cab or standard cab with those seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Yipes! Those things have gotten like GOLD! I meant to ask if we still need seat measurements? And, if we do, exactly which measurements? And, before answering, have you seen the page at Documentation/Interior/Seat Interchangeability? My opinion is that people should NOT drill holes in the floor pan and space up with washers to install different seats. From what I've seen the bolt holes in our trucks are reinforced, although others have said otherwise. And if you drill and shim at the very least you should reinforce the floor at the bolt holes. I've said this before, but there have been many cases in other vehicles of the floor pan breaking around the bolt holes if people drill holes and don't reinforce. I've not heard of that on the Bullnose trucks, but I believe that will eventually be the case. So I highly recommend you do not do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kramttocs Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Mine is a bench right now. Thanks. I was assuming it was but wanted to confirm we didn't need to consider anything else that might impact the potential swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want to make sure a newer 40 20 40 seats will fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not looking like we have a good personal experience answer yet on the 98+ so measurements may be it. Gary has a 2015 SuperCrew, I have a 2015 SuperCab, and no doubt others on here have other years. Someone (Scatch?) mentioned awhile back a site that now sold seats and a universal base. Can't recall if that was LMC nor do I recall if that was bucket only. Even if a bench I doubt it had a center 3 point. I just wonder if that base could be easily modified vs making your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
