I dont think they're "Too Import", but I wonder how it will look in your truck. I guess they could be made to look like they belong but it'd take some work. But 5 point belts are about as uncomfortable as you can get. Go for it. You seem to know what you want to do w/ your truck and it looks great so far so.......

At least the seats should not stain like the factory ones. You also may want to think about the quick release or cam style harness. They would be easier to live with every day.

Not my cup of tea...but it's your truck. Go with what you like....not what everybody on here likes.

If you have Power/Heated seats I wouldnt give them up for the above, but rather find a stylish seat cover. But on the other hand those look good even though there not my style. Then again I do things to my truck others dont like and it boils down to what you like not what we like.

Using the stock seats you have the personal safety system PSS which will help you in a crash. Safety first.

HAHAHA... nice styx... read my mind...

actually, i thought of it last night... then the "other half" (whos actually getting them for me for christmas) saw the harness... and she wasn't too keen with the 5 point harness, more importantly, the submarine belt and all...

and yes, I'm plannin on building at least a partial cage in the rear.

First off it's nice to see another on these forums who actually has a grasp of the correct usage of the various iterations of to/too.

But to the point….If these seats were intended for another truck on this forum I would just say "Guh-hay!" BUT, your truck is much different and looks like the Lightning that should have been. If your truck will see more use at the track and for cruise nights, then they foot the bill. I have racing seats & 5pnt harnesses in my Mustang, and it does what it was intended to do. I wouldn't look forward to any sort of extended driving in them though.

Also, keep in mind that if you were to take it to a drag strip, NHRA & IHRA rules stipulate that the shoulder belts must be fixed to the cross bar in a roll cage.

Again, very sweet ride!

Rocky, I understand where you're comin from... Safety is an issue for me too, but i'm not gonna be sittin on a set of lawn chairs in there...


thanks rms8 - the truck gets its fair share of driving, truck shows, and pulls a 20' trailer hauling steel. BTW, nice stang

i may be wrong but i dont think the 5 points are DoT approved. i have them on two race cars, you would think if it was good for the track it would be better on the street it just seems like i read that some where.
