It's a good thing I have an AD truck. How much narrower is the cab do you think? My initial thought process is to leave a flange around the floor of the cab and sit on top, then see where it leads. I already have the 4200 mocked up slightly to the passenger side to begin with. As far as seats, I kind of like the bench seat though. As long as the tunnel will clear the frame bracket, it may stay that way.
