Crappy leaning seats in BII\'s

I'm sure most of you if not all of you know what I am talking about. If you have ever driven a BII for a longtime I'm sure you know the feeling of leaning back on one side due to the fact that every BII driver seat I have seen was broken on the passenger side. If I decide to build this truck up does anyone know of a good source for new seats? It gets to your back after a while

AllanD on TRS and RRORC has a full list of swap in seats for B2's. Another option is pulling the upholstry and foam off, bending the frame back into shape and rewelding it. I welded in a piece of flat stock on the backside of the frame for more support.

Yeah but I don't have access to a welder to fix mine. Besides it doesn't run anymore so i'm not too worried.

you must be worried if you bothered to ask the question.

You can still fix it with nuts and bolts. I'm betting the weld is broken at the top right corner (Meaning you lean back to the right when sitting in it). You can bend it back into shape, drill some holes through the overlapping metal and bolt it down.

I've done both and both worked. The toughest part of the whole thing is getting the upholstry off the seat frame and foam. Then there's getting it back on, of course.
