    Who makes the best aftermarket seat?

    My driver's seat decided to take a sheet on me today. Somehow it turned into a swivel seat.... But only swivels when your taking a curve at 70 mph....

    So I may start thinking about swapping out the 5 gallon upholstered bucket for a real seat!

    hmmm careful with those #### volvo seats
    i took one out of crippled truck--put it in a different truck so he could go---driver was back after week--hmm appears i didnt notice the changed seat was offset from the steering wheel just a tiny bit--wouldnt realize it until you are driving--just that it wasnt centered to the steering wheel---#### trucks were identical --just a few monthe between mfg months

    After buying my current 379, I actually tossed out the Seats, Inc. seat... on an on-ramp on I-75 in GA!!!!!

    I had three weeks of the #### thing killing my back so out came the wrenches and I tossed it. I took the original Pete seat out of the passenger side and stuffed it behind the wheel. Put a new one in when I got home.

    7 years later and I'm ready for another new one... this one is a National and it was OK... I had a Knoedler in my old 378 and I was not impressed.

    This time I'm buying one with a nice, soft cushion for my worn out ###.

    Can you just switch your passenger seat over?

    I text him and asked that... he said he hasn't checked yet, but i believe we had the same issue with our volvo and they switched them... have to ask MO to make sure, but I believe it could be done.
