my panel still has the original seats, driver is a fold down slider and the passenger is a fold over and fold up against the dash. my question is ,if you have replaced your seats in your panel, what did you replace them with? milk and drink cases excluded. it's 1:45 here in Texas.

Tony, I used the front seats out of a early 90s Bonneville. Leather/vinyl, power VERY comfortable on trips. Easy install in a panel, just had to raise them an inch for the right height.

Buckets. They left about 8-9 inches between the seats, enough for me to step through. Also, I bought lap belts from Brothers and the male end fit into the seat frame mounted receiver. Seats are bolted through the floor, storage box and outer floor. Used grade 8 bolts, big washers steel plates and double nuts.

Power buckets from a rolled '96 Burb. There's enough space between for a walk-through, and the passenger seat folds forward to the dash so I can get in the back easier.

If I were to do it over, I would go with Air-Ride seats... it would compensate more for the stiff 1-ton ride and cost about the same as my salvage yard power seats.
