    I might buy some nrg bucket seats but IDK if I should buy the brackets since they wont bolt right in? Would I be able to make the holes on the actual truck and bolt them on the floor? Also might get the racing harness how can I bolt those on?

    Nice seats man!! How did you end up doing it? Did you use the brackets? If so, how did you bolt them in? I'm looking to get bucket seats too, but dont know about bolting them in.....

    If you get seats from another truck/car then you may get one bolt to line up, and drill holes for the other 3. Then use a bolt, washer and nut to secure.

    Bolt nut and washer will pull through. You shoul reinforce under the cab by welding some 1/4 inch to the bottom of the cab in the location you need then drill. Use a large washer and a nylock nut. It's your safety wr're talkin here.

    I've never had an issue with bolts pulling through. Did use a washer on the bolt side and a lock washer on the nut side. Oversized of course so maybe that's helped.

    Dang my old thread and to your question I got the steering wheel from pepboys its a Gt grant. If you want to do a quick release you will need a Nrg hub from like a 99 honda civic did a thread a long time ago when I had a quick release steering wheel.
