Skulptr Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 To attempt to prevent the 20 more that are on the way after this one. Won't help, the search button is still "broken" lol Quote Link to comment
SHORTDOG Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 They look good! The only problem i see is...it's obvious that the seat belt mechanism doesn't work with the Nissan belts so what do you do there? It looks to me like you have both in the picture, is there a way to remove the Rodeo one? Also, if anybody in the So. Cal. area has a set of Rodeo seats that they don't like and want to trade for Original 720 buckets...I'm game! I like the 720 seats but want more comfort. Quote Link to comment
Skulptr Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 i used the rodeo belts. everything bolts right in place of the 720 belts like it was meant to be... Quote Link to comment
MaddieCycle Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Old thread, I put a '99 Dodge Neon front passenger seat into my 1986 KC on the passenger side. It was a bit of a pain because since this is a seat that will ideally remain connected to the floor in the event of a crash, I did not want to cut corners. 1) Lined up the neon seat as best as possible. You can get 3 of the 4 holes to line up if you set it just right. 2) Instead of reaming out the hole in the 4th tab on the Neon seat, I drilled a new hole through the floor and plugged the old one. 3) Got some grade 8 and 10.9 hardware M8 nuts and 2 inch bolts, multiple increasing size grade 8/10.9 washers to be wide enough to have solid bearing on the Neon seat tabs, but also enough bearing on the bolt flanges. 4) Had to use chaser taps to clean some of the threads. One of the front threads stripped so I used an M8 nut behind the oem welded nut. 5) Installed the 2 remaining OEM bolts, then the last bolt with a nut and washer on the underside of the truck. Solid, safe, and the Neon seat is really comfortable, sits a little higher than stock. Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I had Neon seats in my 720 but didn't like that they were higher, it felt funny, mine bolted right in to all four holes, but I used fender washers on the inside as the holes in the seat rails were very large. Quote Link to comment
Angeldust720 Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Have you tried putting 300zx seats in? I heard their really comfortable in the truck and their like 200 bucks at the junkyard. Im saving for some manual seats because also heard electric seats have clearance issues for underseat computer, can anyone send me pictures of that kind of swap? Thanks Quote Link to comment
MaddieCycle Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 I did not find any 300zx seats at the Pick N Pull. As far as fender washers, were you able to find them grade 8/10.9? I wanted to stick with the high strength grade steel fasteners used to secure seats. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 Grade 8 is total overkill. Ordinary bolts will pull out of the floor before they will break. And they won't pull out of the floor if wearing a seat belt. Quote Link to comment

Thanks 300zx seats will work, but you’ll have to do some fab work. If you make the seats level, the motors clear fine on the power seats. But they are heavy seats. free online image hosting 1 1 Quote Link to comment
bottomwatcher Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Those seats look good but if you are tall will have (clearance issues). 1 Quote Link to comment
