yup nice bucket seats out of a 94 Mazda. Cut the RH seat down about four inches and covered openings with plywood. Gives nice solid platform to bolt seat to or bolt seat adjusters to. Pretty easy mod

there is a great write-up on m715zone about a guy rebuilding the stock m715 seats with a suspension system. He used chair webbing and high density foam from a upholestry shop. says its as comfortable as his couch. I havent gotten around to the interior of my truck yet or i would have done it. it considered a must-do on the m715 boards.

The base is just a spring seat base but the actual seat is a highback HMMWV seat. I havent determinded if it is a front seat or rear or if there is a difference. I got it from Lonesome715. He got it out of the trash dump when he was in Iraq, brand new still in the box.

You probably wouldn't need them in St Pete but I've got a set of pwr/heated leather seats out of an '04 Coupe DeVille I'd like to get rid of. I'd trade them for a complete M37 Cargo Cover (bows, canvas, etc).

I'm considering installing this in my M37, depending on width of driver/passenger seats:

Drivers seat: (would go with black denim)

Passenger flip/fold capable (on custom brackets, of course)

Trying to get a width measurement on CJ5 rear seat to see if both seats would squeeze into M37 cab -

'Tanner'
those look good! but i want just 2 seats (im going to install a box for my radios to sit between them)

i want to stick with a plane Jane setup (i get in deep water some times so the less things to short out the better)

Bubba, my m37 is going to get a seat from a newer dodge Pu, my 2004 set up fits the m37 with changes to the battery box and all brackets.

This way I also get a arm rest or third passenger - recover in green vinyl or fabric
