I used 4 .090" 1/2" washers from home depot. Just painted them black so the would not rust. I dont know if your truck has seat belts in the seat or in the cab pillars. If they are mounted in the cab pillars look at expedition seats or navigator seats as they dont have seat belts built in.

Anyone of you with the 04+ seats care to post up some pics? And also of the infamous spacer requirement. I am planning on doing this swap to my 01 Scab and would love to see how you guys did it. Also how close are they to the doors? Any width issues? Thx

I think he probably just ran bolts straight through the cab. I doubt that every hole lines up on these swaps

None of the holes matched up. I had to drill new ones and put new bolts in. i started with the center seat. I put it in the middle and centered it the best i could then marked the holes and drilled them out. same for the passenger and drivers seat.
