[FC] New FC Owner - Seats

[Dale Dewald]

Hello Mr Kidd,

It would be interesting to know what province of Canada you live in.

The difficulty with fitting alternate seats in an FC is to find a set with 
a thin seat bottom to clear the wheel well.  I once had the opportunity to 
drive my neighbor' '99 Dodge Dakota and noticed that its bucket seats might 
just work in an FC. The seat bases were thin on the inboard side to clear 
the transmission tunnel. I did not take measurements, but it looked like 
they would nearly bolt in (with modification of the tracks) if swapped side 
to side.
