Through-Bolting Made Easy

Several DIY enthusiasts have successfully completed this swap. The installation process is straightforward. Here are the steps to secure your new seats:

  1. Align the seats in the intended position.
  2. Mark where the holes need to be drilled on the floor pan.
  3. Remove the seats and proceed to drill the holes.
  4. Use a reliable bolt/nut/washer combination and thread-lock to fasten the seats.

For a more professional finish, you can have the nuts welded to the frame.

Looking to Avoid The Welder?

Fat Fender Garage offers seat adapter brackets that allow the 1999-2010 style Super Duty seats to be installed. There is a fairly in depth install process, not extremely difficult but time consuming. The result is an installation that's rock solid and appears factory. We have heard that this does make things a little tight for tall guys in regular cabs.
