The first pic *is* his new seats.

You should have seen the ones he took out.

Yeah, my copy pasta skills were lacking early this morning. That third pic was supposed to be the new ones.

Lemme see if I can find the url and post it from my phone...

I got 'em out of an '06 Trailblazer.

Picked up the third row seats to use as a bench in the back of the Willys too.  Not in a huge rush to put that in though, as that's going to take quite a bit more thinking to figure out the best way to mount them.

Got all of the seats and the electric seat bases and everything for $175!   ;D

You realize you've set the bar pretty high for the rest of the truck now, eh?

So over the weekend, I mounted my new seats and wired them up.

Huge improvement over stock.  It makes the ride so much nicer.  And the seat heaters are badass too.   [evil]












Still didn't get my shifter done though.  When I went to fabricate it, I realized I'd forgotten to take part of it with me.   [roll]





No, that was your buddy Daniel Craig.   :P





That looks an awful lot like an electric heater built into the sidewall just behind the front seats.

Not electric.

There're coolant lines that run back to it and it has a heater core in it.  Those rear heaters for the Willys Wagons are super rare.  I got lucky.

:)

Gm should take a lesson from that. I had to remove the entire dash to replace the heater core on my Jimmy. With that Willis design its right there.
