Chuck,
It was very easy. Just be sure to get the hardware in advance, if you
can....otherwise just do the swap in the hardware store's parking lot. The
bolts and nuts are metric on mine, so be careful. I still do have to locate
2 'threaded studs' which are needed for the inner seat rail mounts, one for
the passenger's seat and one for the driver's seat.. There are holes in the
floorboards with nuts welded on ther underneath side of them, just have to
find a place which carries the metric bolts for them. The parts dept. at my
local Dodge truck dealer didnt show anything listed. The seats are very
secure, but I would just feel better if all 4 studs are 'nutted' down. Home
Depot here I come.....Good Luck!
