    I looked at Nationals after I helped a Lady and her son get their Car started, they had broke down at T/S. They both worked at the plant in Tn. According to them they are good seats. One of them worked quality control. The ones I found online were $800+ though. A little too much for Me, as I need 2, one for my wife. Otherwise I’d swap mine, with jump seat. But Bostrom padding for head area is downright dangerous.

    The National seat I've been looking at it the Captain Truck Seat w/ Armrest for $532.99 on big rig chrome shop. I really don't need anything fancy, just something nicer than the 20 year old seat in my truck now

    The Legacy silver is a decent seat for the money. And it has a universal fit bottom on it, or at least the one I bought does.

    Bought mine through the local Kenworth dealer. Shop around ,I've been told Freightliner has them fairly cheap right now. You can purchase online but the shipping cost would be really high.

    I’ve had Eldorado, National, Seat inc. Problem I have is it takes a couple weeks to know if it’s a good fit or not. They all seem great at first, then different pains set in, so I’m still open to suggestions. Legacy looks good, but never know.

    I love National, you can get parts easily and the seat foam is and easy to replace when you need to.. Only about $45
    That alone is a huge plus imo...
