I'll try to get to all the questions. First of all, I spelled the name wrong
in my last post. The correct spelling is BOSTROM.
I found about them from my uncle, who was/is a truck/bus driver. He always
spoke highly of these seats and urged me to get them when I was considering
new seats.
They are a bit smaller than the stock seats, but they are quite adjustable.
They have good lumbar adjustment (air bladders) and have dual arm rests that
can be adjusted to any height. I have found them incredibly comfortable
although the air-ride took a bit of getting used to.I would like to have sat
in one before buying, but no one had a test model avail, as they appear to
be special orders in most cases. I was not disappointed however. Most good
trucks have these seats, and when you think of the miles truckers rack up, I
figured they must know something.
They do come in leather. There is not much info on the net, but below is one
site that has a few pictures.
I have the Talladega LSO. I got UltraLeather in an off white to match colors
of my rebuilt interior.
The seats were a pretty easy install. They are made to mount to the floor of
a truck, so the box that the original equipment seat mounts to came
out.Installing the seat belts was the biggest headache. I ran airlines off
the main line.
I bought mine at NY Metro Peterbuilt. They had everything I need and were
real pleasant. I would guess any good truck part supplier could get them as
they are very popular in trucks.
I'll have to look up the price as I don't quite recall, but let's just say
there are cheaper ways to replace seats.

I'm working on learning how to post pictures on the web, and when I do, I'll
let you see what they look like in our coach.
If I forgot anything, let me know.
Tony
