seat pedestals
I'm getting serious about the seats in the Napper. We've talked
about air seats and such some in the past and it was mentioned that there are spring or torsion spring pedestals out there. Can anyone direct me to a web site or provide information about seating options. I have pretty nice seats but would like to up grade the pedestals to air or springs to just improve the ride quality. I talked to suburban seating and I might take a drive to Lodi NJ to look but I would appreciate any suggestions, opinions, or whatever related to replacing these seats or pedestals. Tell me what you know so that I have as much information so I can make a reasonable sensible decision. This can cost a couple hundred bucks up to as much as several grand. I am willing to spend what is needed but I also don't want to waste a bunch just to get a small improvement. Open to any and all suggestions. John Heckman central Pa 1973 FC |

John,
If at all possible I would make the effort to ride in one of the air seats you are considering. Way back in the 80's I owned some Dodge heavy duty LCF trucks http://www.sweptline.com/hist/lcf1.jpg and I spent the money for expensive Bostrom air seats and was hugely disappointed in the performance for the money and effort expended fwiw Steve Wannabe ----Original Message---- From: jehdds@...

I had a Recaro in the Newell and it was terribly uncomfortable, too. This ISRI in my BB is the most comfortable seat I've had.
The loose Spanish translation for Recaro is.."Wow, that's pricey." BradBarton00LXiDFW bbartonwx@...

Keep it coming guys that's what I am looking for. Opinions. Suburban
has the ISRI seats and they said they were their top of the line. They are far from inexpensive, haven't priced the recaro's.

seat pedestals
you can go to a big truck junk yard and buy the pedestal way cheep.
Volvo has some good ones. the big truck peds have a forward and back float that you can lock out. the float helps with the jarring from shift movement. When you remount the seat and ped it should be as secure as the seat belt. If the seat came loose in a front end wreck, the drivers weight and the weight of the seat may do some harm when the driver gets caught under the belt. GregoryO'Connor 94ptRomolandCa |
