Took a few hours to work on the seat this morning. Wheeled it into the hardware store on a buggy, no one even cared. At the check out line the man and woman running the register asked what the seats came out of. I told them they were out of a 70's Ford van and going into a 70's style Chevy Boogie van. They looked like deer in headlights, lost and confused. LMAO!

The base was a beast to mount to the seat. Pretty sure it weighs about 3000 lbs, LOL. Finally got it all mounted up though. Just have one bolt holding it to the floor for now. Still have to go back to the hardware store to grab some new bolts for that.

I'm super happy with how it looks and feels though. SO much better than the old ones. I love having the built in arm rests too. Plan on removing the factory arm rests off the doors, and replacing them with some tooled leather pull straps. Now on to the next base, then I need to source some brown or beige seatbelts that will work.
