I really like the look. Sure does look factory. Nice job.

Unfortunately, I need the jump seat so that I can take the missus and the kiddo out all at the same time.

Spiro,

I like it. Much more sporty than the bench seat. Where did you get the bucket to replace the bench?

WOW...I guess you guys like it. The console is from a Lincoln Navigator, and the passenger seat is actually the original narrowed down a bit.

JL,
LOL..I think the 6 cell Maglight needs to mount over head....well, maybe not, I woudn't want that thing falling on my melon

I cant wait to see the 6 point roll bar installed. I was going to run a set of JAZ racing buckets, but nahhh...I like this look better for racing....

Another option would be to buy the Harley D seats and put them in the L. Nice black leather and very comfortable. The console does not go down to the floor, but is quire utile.

I have no idea how much they would cost.

Spiro.....looks nice.

It sucks!

Sorry, just had to be different. I love it. I agree that this is the way the trucks should have come from the factory.

...This in NO way is a plug for a sale or product. I did this for myself only.

Spiro,
I asked SVT back in fall of 98 why they didn't put Captains Chairs in. I thought of installing mine from my 97 but got a chip and filter instead. Nice Job!

Yeesssssss!!!! How far back does the console go? Would it work with the MTX Thunderform? That looks sooooooo much better than the stock interior (and real cupholders to boot!) I realize that some people need the extra seat, but I wish Ford had made this an option.

Spiro, let me just say wow, that looks awsome. I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but I get caught up in the big race. I hope you don't mind if some other lightnings look like that also. How hard was it to turn the passenger seat into a bucket seat.

I think we need to talk to the place that did your and setup an appointment for all the rest of us who want this done. This is definetly the way ford should have done it.

Would my box still fit behind that contraption of yours.

Very nice, it should have been a factory option.
