[FC] Bucket Seat Options for FC's

[Vairtec Corporation]

Larry, your assumption that cutting up and re-welding a LH seat to 
fit the RH side as a complicated project is correct.  Complicated 
likely to the point of impossibility; you'd be better off building a 
seat from scratch.

But I have to echo the others who suggested that the bench is the 
best seat for a Rampside.  If, perhaps, you are seeking greater 
comfort or perhaps headrests, there are ways to achieve both with the 
bench seat.
