Re: swivel seat

Yes you will need a "Torx Plus" T55 wrench to remove the front screws. I got a Torx T55 and it is a loose fit although it works.

If you are considering sound deadening the cab floor the time to do it would be while the seat(s) are out.

Re: swivel seat

thanx, I will get that wrench, so it looks like I will need to get longer bolts when I add the swivel base ?

Re: swivel seat

The stock bolts should work. Also might note that the back of the seat is held down by nuts which are metric. Can't remember the wrench size. Pretty much all the fasteners I've found on the van so far are metric except the battery terminal clamps.

Re: swivel seat

This is where I bought mine it was a piece of cake to install but it did raise the seat about 2in.
