how much modification was needed for them to fit? or did that just bolt up to the panther seat rails?

Bronco II seat rails are 14" apart, boxes are 15.5, and the panther seat tracks are also arched instead of flat.
Some drilling, welding, spacers and beers later, they fit the stock panther seat rails.
Yes, I do plan on painting the rails, but I want to make sure I'm happy with how the seats fit first. I may end up cutting them up to lower the seats a bit. Seats are great and supportive, but they do sit a little higher (and are significantly less squishy) then the town car seats that were in it.2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4

They do look high mounted in there but fit the inside of the vehicle very well. Very nice.~David~

good seats for someone that's 5' tall I would think.

They look higher than they are. They are less then 2" higher then the Town Car seats. It's as low as they can go without cutting up the seat tracks (which I may end up doing, won't know how much I like them till I drive the car)2020 F250 - 7.3 4x4 CCSB STX 3.55's - BAKFlip MX4

HPP box is up and running again. I put the s/c install on hold for various reasons and decided the throw the TFS 170's I've had sitting around for ever on.
I just realized I didn't take many pics, oh well.
Heads on, valve covers mocked up (the stamped steel COBRA covers wouldn't clear the polylocks), also making sure the 1250 intake gaskets fit perfectly
Brandy new 24# Ford Racing injectors. These are the latest and greatest or so I've read. 6 holers, but you can only get them with the USCAR style connector. Decided to just buy the JETRONIC TO USCAR adapters for $30 instead of hacking up my injector harness.
Explorer lower ported by tmoss.
The runners match the head perfectly, he definitely knows his stuff.
I gasket matched the upper and lower as best I could. Actually came out fairly nice.
Pretty much ready to go...
Fresh pics with the HPP's back on:
Quick vid, tune needs a lot of work but it runs and drives!

Was playing around with the rev limiter functions. I set the fuel cut off at 6200, and the cut in at 6100, that's what you hear during the second "launch" attempt.
