seat install

Are you talking about that riser that comes with the seat? I've put one in a Pete 379 and FL Classic. I did not use that riser. I just drilled holes in the base where I needed them.

 

Usually is just bolt the adapter plate to the 4 bolts in the floor, then the seat bolts to the adpater plate. You may have spacers to make up the difference of the thickness of the carpet or floor matt, so make sure they're all there.

Do not try to drill holes to make the new seat bolt to the floor, the bolts go into a crossmember for strength. I've seen people do this and the seat is bolted to sheet metal, not so safe in an accident.

 

I should be more clear. I did not drill holes in the floor.

 

I took out the riser and slider track and bolted the suspension right to the floor to get as low as possible and still have useable suspension. In an accident I don't expect to survive so I drive more careful.

 

What's in the truck now should all come out from the floor up. The new seat should have it's own riser and stroke. The adapter plate is just to line up the bolt holes on various trucks which I think Freightliner is 1/2" off which is why you need the adapter plate.
