Besttop Trail Max II seat install advice?

[bigjake]

I'm looking at buying a full set of Besttop Trail Max II seats because I like the fold 'n tumble rear seat design, with headrests for my two young children. I actually wanted to get the procar seats, but I really want matching vinyl on the rear seat.

Can you guys show me how you installed yours, especially on the passenger side, or inform me of a fold and tumble rear seat with headrests that will match the procar seat vinyls?

Any tips for mounting these front seats cleanly? Are there any special brackets I can buy?

With the ribbing or indentations in the bed you'll notice the front brackets don't sit flush. I ended up taking two pieces of aluminum about 2” wide and 1/4” thick and cutting them to about 29.5” and marking center on them. I believe measurement on space for brackets is 25.5” from outside to outside edge at the base of brackets. This should give you about 23.75 - 24” where your seat slides on your brackets. I lined front and back edge of brackets up with my aluminum slats and marked the holes and drilled them out. I then attached the brackets to the seat and placed it in the truck to give me an idea where I needed to mount my slats/brackets. I found the seat fits pretty good with the back almost flush across where the bolts for the seats belt mounting holes are. I marked the front edge of the brackets then removed the seat. Squared up my lines and drilled my two holes for the first slat. Then put my 2nd slat in and used my brackets and marks on my slats to square it up and drill my second set of holes. I made another similar bracket for the rear latch that will utilize the first two threaded seat belt holes so I don't have to remove my gas tank. Over turned out pretty good! Seat will sit flush! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

I used the stock bronco seat tracks and drilled new holes in the seat. I also added 1/2" spacer between the seat track and seat.
