Removed 4 boots. I can see the middle seat is attached to driver seat, ever removed the front alone? I see boots from middle seat to either side of seats but no way to get to them, is there a trick to removing driver seat alone?
Second picture shows how the driver and middle are attached.

The center console and driver's seat are all one unit. You remove the 4 bolts from the driver's side seat and the electrical connectors and the seat should come out with the center console attached. I don't recall if the frames were welded or riveted underneath. There were two seat options, the full bucket seats and the split seat.
