Junkyard seats...

[dm22630]

I just got two front seats out of a Bronco II.....they look a LOT more comfortable than the current seats in my deuce.

Is there a trick/special way that I am supposed to mount them to the spring base?

Any pics/instructions?

Thanks!

Army wrecker drivers were known for going to the canibilization yard and getting CUCV seats to put in their 816's.
Depending on how the civilian seats are mounted you may have to make an adaptor plate to attach the seat to the springer frame.
You also have to make sure the seat isn't so high that your legs end up against the steering wheel all the time or when you bounce up when hitting a bump.

We use seats out of a saturn sedan. You can see them here:

I am putting a set on air ride bases in my M818. Just make an adapter plate like wreckerman said.
