So I'm going to be picking up some SRT8 seats this weekend. And my goal is to convert them into my 03 ram seats. Anyone have any experiences with this, seen of heard of anyone doing this? I'm interested to see how they turned out. Lemme see em!
Sweet. Shouldn't be too hard. Once I get them I'll pull everything apart and dig some on the fabrication I'll need to come up with. I'm also going to try and get the seats powered up to use the motors in them if I can.
Thanks everyone! It turned out fantastic! I'm stoked to have this setup now. I haven't seen it in any other truck at this point. It's super comfortable and I'm able to sit up a little bit higher now that the power seats work.
Need to get some of those kind of seats in my 05. After getting fling-ed around in the 03 (only the driver seat in the truck) after loosing traction at the end of the 1/8 mile going 80mph. That got my attention to say the least sliding around the seat trying to get the truck back under control. Had to check my shorts after that. :blush:
Really like the look. Did it take much fabrication to make them fit right? Can you tell us about fitting them in your Ram for future reference. (one of us might get lucky and find a set to put in.)
Not much fabbing really. Had to cut 4 small pieces of 1/4" flat bar and basically crest a mounting surface for the SRT seat to sit on top up to weld the frame to the original ram seat tracts. So the SRT frames are about an inch to a half inch narrower. But it wasn't bad at all.
Simple enough and well worth the result's. Thank's!!!
