The Obscure Machine; building while driving thread (UPDATE)

[ObscureMachine]

I decided to make a build thread for my rig, just to keep a record for my brain. I drive it daily and I'm rebuilding it piece by piece while keeping it driveable. So, here it is:

(Let me say this: don't ever by a bronco from broncosbybama (Dennis Burton of Fackler, Ala). He's a builder and just about everything he told me was horribly untrue. I'm repairing things that I thought I had paid for! Some bronco builder!)

Today we were cleaning the bronco and adding some odds and ends (mostly bling kinda stuff). My wife was installing new seat hinge covers and asked me why they (JBG) sent the wrong parts. She said it had too many of one size and not enough of the other.

When I looked into it, I found that the my PO (the infamous idiot "bronco builder") had apparently installed two of the same seats. I have either two drivers seats or two passenger seats. The fold release knob is on the left side (if your sitting) of the seats. No wonder he didn't bolt in the seats. And no wonder my 3 point seatbelt brackets don't fit right.

What should I do? Which side is the folding lock supposed to be on? The outside, or the middle?
