2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Replacement seat options for Quad cabs

[FDavid]

As our trucks get older, I knew it was just a matter of time before my truck devoloped the infamous "drivers seat tear. " At first, I was going to have them recovered with aftermarket leather covers, but after recieving a few quotes ($700+) I decided to find another route. I then decided to search the local junk yards for the exact replacement seats I needed but came up short. I didn't even bother trying to get aftermarket seats because no one I know of makes seats with integrated seatbelts for our quadcabs.



After much frustration, I noticed there were a few other vehicles out there whose seats had integrated seat belts. So my search began to find a set. The only draw back would be fabbing in the required brackets to make the seats work. But I figure that wouldnt be much trouble for anyone with some decent skills and tools.



So here are a list of seats I have found with built in seat belts. Please add to the list if I have skipped a set, and I am sure I have. I figure that knowing what seats to look for would make things easier for anyone else in my situation. After all, most of these seats can be found on eBay pretty cheap.

The chrysler sebring seats are almost exactly like the dodge seats. I am not sure of the mounting options, but the seat back and cushion frames are the same. It would be interesting to get a set and see how close they are and if they "feel" any better than the dodge seats.

If I went that far, I would take a look at air ride seats also.
