Racing seats in nbs?
I want to install some aftermarket bucket/racing seats in a nbs regular cab. what would i need to install them? ive looked all over the place but cant really find anything much except a few pics. these are the issues :
seat height: are the original seats in some sort of pedestal, and if so can i just bolt the new seats right onto the raised platorm?
airbags: would i just need to remove the airbag bladder and install it in the aftermarket seat? would i need anything such as a resistor? i found a subie writeup here, useful but not sure how much of it is relevant:
seatbelts: I could either run harnesses to the seat brackets itself or a bar running behind the seats attached to the column, but how would i get the seatbelt sign and would i want the computer to think the seatbelts are always plugged in?
It would be a really mean look, but im just not sure how to do it. also, I would have to recover the middle flip up seat in the same material to keep it looking the same.

Yeah I saw it, it looks good but I didn't see anything on airbags? Probably a non-issue for you build but was wondering.
Also, did it simply bolt onto the "pedestal" bracket? And does the factory side trip look okay? At least from the pics it looks like they don't fit/are dubbing on the side of the bucket seat towards the back.
