A Planted Technology seat bracket for the Dodge Ram, first generation, 1981 to 1993. Part number SB262.
Thirteen years and almost no change
Which tells you how little Chrysler invested in it. The first generation Ram was already old when it launched, being a lightly revised version of the truck that came before, and Dodge left it alone until the dramatic 1994 redesign transformed their fortunes.
That neglect is why they are cheap and why the ones left are either working or being built as projects.
The Cummins
Dodge fitted the 12 valve Cummins from 1989, which is the engine that saved the model line and which people still seek out specifically. If yours is a 12 valve, you have the version worth spending money on.
What you are actually buying
Usually a comfort upgrade. A forty year old bench or bucket has nothing left in it, and a supportive shell on a bolt in bracket is a genuine improvement for anyone spending real time in the truck.
Ask us about neoprene if it works. Get the mat up and check the floor.
Have you written anything about this exact product?
Yes, we have covered this exact product: Lexus Planted Technology Frames Updated For 2026, and Customer Car: Subaru Impreza With Corbeau RRS Seats and Planted Technology Brackets. That is first-hand coverage from our own builds and showroom, not brochure copy.
Will this fit my car?
This frame is made for the Dodge Ram [1st Generation] (1981-1993). Chassis code and years matter more than the badge, as floor pans change between generations, so if your car sits near a changeover year, send us the registration and we will confirm before you order.
Which seats does it take?
Check the bolt pattern in the specification against your seat. The Compatible seats tab above lists what bolts straight on. If your seat is not listed, tell us what you run and we will confirm the fit.
Do I keep fore-and-aft adjustment?
Only with a sliding runner between the frame and the seat, which is a separate part on Planted frames. If more than one person drives the car, budget for the runner. Our guide to sliding runners explains the options and widths.
Is this for the driver or passenger side?
Both sides are available on this listing, pick driver or passenger side at the point of order (sides listed are for right-hand-drive cars). Left-hand-drive car? Ask us, as the sides swap over and availability varies by model.
