Front Seat Frame

I got this really cool Corbeau Front Seat frame for putting in buckets and my Tuffy box... Fits really nice..made for 55's. I think I'm going to put in the 80 series seats that I have. We'll see.

Pat, can you post a link for that seat frame? that is cool! did not know they made those

 

[landcruisnman]

Noah,
I bought it off a guy on craigslist a while back. Here's the Corbeau website with the link
Seat Brackets
It says "bench" by the FJ55 seat. I'll check the part# on the one I have and post it.
Hope you and your fam had a great Christmas...
