Default How to remove middle seat.

Doing something extreme with the truck and need the middle seat gone. I'm keeping the driver (of course) and the passenger but the middle fold down seat has gotta go.

I can see a bolt holding it in the back which would be easy to remove but in the front it looks like the seats are held together by something circle that has no grip on them... I thought maybe prying them undone? Not sure if theres a easy way to get it separated or not. Ya'll done this before and know how? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you help lol I will upload pics of what I did when I'm done )

unbolt from up under the middle seat, then you can get that out of the way and take care of your brackets

i took some pics, this is the bracket for the front on the passehger side, its got rivets


heres a pic of the back bracket, its welded to the seat bracket and if youre wantin to make it look good youll have to pull the seat to cut it off right..........






you can see in both pics that the brackets go up under the middle seat and bolt upwards........i wouldnt suggest taking all the seats out as one unless youve got help, i tried this morning

Personally, found it much easier to take the seats out one at a time. Removed most of the hardware off a set of 98manual pedestalls. Used 1/4 & 3/8" bits to drill out the rivets.
Thought they turned out pretty clean, more details on this page.

Lol Im putting in a 15 inch sub. Memphis mojo to be exact with a super bass probox. I got a 2400 watt hifonics amp and a 3 farad cap making it jiggle. The dimensions are exact.

So lemme get this straight? It's all bolts right? I don't need to cut anyting? I'm hoping to complete it tomorrow morning. Will take pics then
