Hmmm, a nice set of Koni's it is.

I found a used Bostrom out of a Mack and installed in my -5. It even has swivel so I can turn it 90 degrees for use when parked. We replaced a Flexsteel with it.

We (my wife and I) absolutely love it. On our trip to Texas last month, my wife asked if we could put air ride seats in her two cars.

Maybe an MC5 rides rougher than the 40 footers but its amazing what an improvement it makes. The fact that she can easily adjust up and down is an added advantage. I would totally recommend it but I would shop the junkyards and get a set of them there. Now I probably lucked out because this seat doesn't even have a crack or a stain in it. Paid $450.00 for it. Check out Erickson Trucks in Jackson, MN.

Typical for me. While procrastinating about it I missed out on a set of KW seats, full air adjustments everywhere,  heat & swivel. Problem was they were about 16 hrs round trip to go and get. Shipping would have priced them out of reach so I keep looking.
My MC12 has an air ride drivers seat but fabric (kinda wrong color too), cushion & backrest padding, and mechanical parts are all worn. Probably not worth rebuilding and fabric matching a single for the missus. I have had estimates for recovering seats before and I don't expect the price has gone down in the last 5 years.
