Re: junk yard seats

My past experiences say that most CAR bucket seats don't work well in AD or TF trucks.

The lean backs lean back at too much of an angle and the later ones are padded on the back to protect back passengers in a wreck costing you a couple of inches of leg room.

If they fit though, Those BMW seats should be about as comfortable as you can get if you get the height set right. Of all the cars I have owned the seats in my 528 are probably the most comfortable I have ever had for long distance driving.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
