Ok guys, needing some help with the guys with the ambulances. I'm wanting to put bomber style seats in my M37 and since the drivers seat is already the right style I figured it would be best/easiest to replace the seat section with those from an M43 so I can put a center console between and have the two bucket seats. If anyone has a parts M43 that you would sell the seat bases and passenger seat from I am very very interested, if not can someone post pictures of how the batteries work under the passenger seat and what not? I'm doing a repower and it is already 12v but I'm going to have a deepcycle battery in as my second battery under the drivers seat. The 351W I'm putting in has the starter on the passenger side so that is convenient for short run of the heavy gauge wire.

Anyway, if any of you guys with the M43 have a few pictures of the passenger seat section or better yet have a parts one laying around that you'd consider selling the seat bases both driver and passenger I'd be greatly appreciative.

Thanks

Hi T,

I don't have an M43, but I got these pics from this listing......hopefully they'll help.

regards,
bob

Thanks Bob, someone got a good deal on that truck... I'll probably just try to find a second drivers seat and cut the box down since the box itself looks like it is riveted in there and then just box it it from the doghouse. I want to put a power inverter, stereo, and lockable storage in the center console as well as cupholders, similar to this
http://www.maxbilt.com/product/consoles/cjc-1.html#. The seats are going to be reupholstered with a very thin pad on the bottom and back. I removed the seat springs a while ago and with me sitting right on the wood *quite uncomfortable with the bolts* I am looking straight out the middle of the windshield. Will be putting in a tilting steering column as well to help with the ergonomics. At 6'4" with a really long torso most vehicles end up fitting like this one did stock and heavy modifications required...
