1st Gen Cummins Seat UPGRADE SWAP! Ditch The Bench For Power Bucket Seats. Simple, Safe, Secure

1st Gen Cummins Seat UPGRADE SWAP! Ditch The Bench For Power Bucket Seats. Simple, Safe, Secure is not a joke. I was on the fence about braking the originality of the First Gen Dodge Cummins 4x4 interior and decided to bite the bullet and aim for a more modern and comfortable ride.
I am very satisfied with the new seat set up and know that you too can benefit from an upgrade like this in your classic auto.
Today you will experience a method for the seat transformation that includes re purposing some of the old bench hardware. You will also gain some pointers on how to maintain proper height and seat travel.
Don't wait another second and CLICK PLAY! Thanks for watching.

actually I did the same exact thing to replace my bench seat with bucket seats. I used the original bench seat brackets and ran L channel steel to connect the brackets front and back. it made the best sense rather than putting holes in the floor pan and having to reinforce the area with double sheet metal. the last thing you want is to have seat mounting fail in an accident

This is a great video. I have a '78 W150 that I'm restoring and I've been doing research about changing the seat.

Great video. I have those same seats that will be going in my 1st gen Dodge. I’ve been thinking about how I would mount them. Got some great ideas from your video. Thanks!

Great video and explaining what you guys did. Do you sit closer to the door than you did before? Do you sit higher than the stock bench. Cheers eh!

[@Tom-km8xq]

How far does your custom frame stick out beyond the stock bracket?

[@dodgeman338]

What are the seats from?

[@JorgeMartinez-ug1fg]

I need this . Where are you guys located

[@johnrobinson8924]
