I recently was looking for an air ride seat and since they are very pricey I thought that maybe I could find a good used one, well I looked at 3 different truck junkyards in SC and checked out ebay, 1 junkyard said that he had 1 a few weeks ago but it went fast for 650.00, the seat that I found at the international dealer was about 800.00 and it included both arm rests,lumbar support, and leather, where the one for 650.00 only had 1 arm rest and leather.
I figure for the extra 150.00 I'd rather have the one from the dealer simply because it has a warranty not to mention additional arm rest and the lumbar support. From what I could see most all of them in the junkyard are in the right spot. You may get lucky and find one but the odds are not in your favor from what I could tell.

I looked around at a couple of dealers, checked ebay now and then as there always seem to be a few on there either lightyly used or new. Trouble with ordering one online is the shipping will negate any savings. Local dealer had some Bostrom wide rides (upholstered plywood) National and Sears - another KW dealer in Canada had a bunch of Seats inc models on closeout, pretty cheaply too but they were being buttheads about it (buying a truck AND seat and they wanna charge me to install it) so I bought the same seat off the local KW dealer. Its a Seats inc. Legacy Silver, all ultraleather, two armrests, no bellows for $730 from Paccar Parts and no shipping. Same deal should be available from any KW or PB dealer.

I'm assumeing,from the start that most seats will have holes in the correct places to go in just about any truck right?
