My cab doesnt have rear head rests, is it a big job to put some in there? I was told that you can get a conversion kit but dont know how true this it.

Thanks.

If the rear seats in a cab are the same as a saloon, all you need are the headrests, brackets, fixing bolts, and plastic grommets.

my seat back already had the mounting holes and all i had to do was make holes in the seat.

yep as above, go to any scrap yard, get a rear or a front set out from any four door or coupe etc, remove the seat backing (plastic if you are getting them from a front set) and remove the metal frame that secures the head rest in (4x8mm bolts), then remove your back seat and the cut out is already there fit the frame, poke some holes for the legs to go through, stick em in and presto......

i actually had to get four head rests cause my seat trim is checker but i could only find four grey only head rests, you would not notice though.
