I just bought two matching air ride seats from Hribar Trucking in Sturtevant, WI. I am going to have them recovered so they don't look so out of place. My son rides with me on a regular basis and I had a chance to sit on the passenger side last summer and I must say my boy is great, he never complained once about being uncomfortable. I don't think I lasted 10 minutes before I was whining how uncomfortable it was. I must be getting old and crabby or something! I'll keep the old seats in case I want to return it to stock. I have to wait until April to get the truck out of storage, can't wait! Thanks Todd

Reason: add more
I bought a set of bucket seats out of a Dodge Neon for 50 bucks and it was a great investment.
I installed them in my M109 (since sold) and they took a lot of the jarring and bumps out of the ride.
I have a set of air ride Freightliner seats to go in the M915 but there is a lot more room in that cab.
You may have issues putting them in a deuce.
The Following User Says Thank You to wreckerman893 For This Useful Post:
Get the ride height right. If you don't you will have wasted your money. Measure the low minimum height and the Max overall height. As long as you still have air cushion within these desired parameters, you'll be OK. The MFRs who try to bodge our custom trucks together allways screw this up. Yes we get new expensive trucks, with all of the features, but they do nothing for comfort, unless set up right. Buy your local highway truck repair guy a beer, and get it right. TRUST ME. It is way cheaper this way!
I installed them yesterday and the drivers side seat still has plenty of cushion under it when I'm driving. Any passenger that I have will be much more comfortable. I am going to keep the stock seats so if I sell the truck someday it can be returned to stock if they want to. It also seems that I have trouble spelling Deuce!
I would assume an over the road semi, as the place that I bought them from buys and sells a lot of wrecked trucks. I couldn't tell you exactly what kind of a truck they came from, but they are National Seating seats. We have a Freightliner FL70 at work and the seats in that have a shorter base and would work a lot nicer. But I checked around and they are pretty pricey for a pair.
