I have know idea what the seat came out of because I found it in a trailer full of all kinds of other seats. And of course as usual the kid working at the front desk had know idea either. I am assuming its out of some kind of mini van as it measures just under 49".

So for this lesson class we will attempt to mount a seat that is only about 10 years old into a truck that is about 70. First off I stripped all the junk off the bottom of the frame so I had a nice clean slate to work with.

Because the base of the new seat is somewhat thicker and tilted towards the back I needed to trim down the seat riser. Heres a pic of the old and new seat.
