others that have done these and others interested. I am looking at this mostly from the prospective
of a crew cab, but you can make you own decisions for your use.
I don't think that a high back seat would not be ideal for a regular cab if leg room is important.
I am 6' 3" and in my 71 regular cab, I have to have the seat all the way back and still would like a
couple extra inches. In my 70 crew cab I actually find that I need the seat moved forward about
2 inches from its furthest back position. A real bonus for those with long legs!
The seats in my crew measure right at 60" wide across the base, and there is only a couple inches
of room between the seat and door. That should be the same for most all our trucks, I would think.
These seats are from a 1999 Ram 1500. They measure about 60" at the widest point on the cushion,
59" at the cushion right at the back and about 58" wide on the back. They tilt forward, have the
center console and are pretty comfortable. They also look like they would be real easy to adapt
to an older truck, very simple mounts.
These are the same, but from an quad cab. They have integrated shoulder restraints.
These were optional in 1998 on 1500-3500, standard in 1999 and ended in 2001 on 1500
and 2002 on 2500-3500. The end coincides with the body style change, when the crew cab
replaced the quad cad. These are the design I am looking for to use in my Crew. The rear
seat mount is very simple also, I didn't get a picture, but Jimmy has a picture in one of
his recent posts. These are the only Dodge truck seats with integrate belts.
There was an optional under seat storage bin on these starting in 98, I think. This is a 98 at least.
You can somewhat see the mounts on the far side.
1996/1997 extended cab Ram. Very much like the above, but a little slimmer in depth.
The rear seats are the same width and fairly basic.
Not the best picture, but 2004 Ram Crew Cab. Better picture of rears. The rears look a bit more comfy,
but still have the same simple mounting. The under seat storage is a little different.
The driver is missing, but these are 2007 Dodge Ram. I got excited when I saw the rear center integrated
shoulder belt. On further inspection, it is built into the cab, not the seat.
Finally, these are 2008.
