    Looking for a passenger side seat frame. Currently the passenger side seat is 2 inches higher and 1 inch back from the drivers seat. Appears to have been modified for some kind of gun mount? The seat folds forward to allow access to the tool compartment underneath. Does anyone have any idea about where I may find one or the plans for building one?

    Hey Jim, Thanks for the info on the guys in Cali. I bought a couple of items from them. Great guys. No luck on the seat bracket. So since I cannot find the bracket, I guess Ill change out the seats to different after market seats with seatbelts. Thanks again...

    So I ended up using the old bracket. I cut some of the height out and welded the original attachment back on. Works pretty well.
