If you have switched a seat from a first generation bench seat to something more comfortable I would appreciate your sharing your advise and experience. The bench sets me too "straight up". I need to sit three people occasionally, so pure buckets are not an option for me.

What are my options? Thanks.

 

I've been thinking about the same issue with my 90 D150... Maybe 4 > 5 washers under the front seat track rail mountings would do it?

 

some of the older trucks 72-79 they had a bench seat that was also buckets (look like to me).find a lil red express truck pic and look at the seat.check ebay for those trucks

 

I have installed an aftermarket seat in my 88.
two buckets and a center console/seat setup.
check it out in my photos.

 

I tried to see your photo's but all I got was :Invalid Picture specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

 

WOW! That setup looks EXACTLY like what I've had in mind for my 93.
The only differance, is I want to be able to put my cooler between the two seats (so lift the middle seat up).

Where did you get that, how much was it, and how difficult was it to install? (don't include the removal of the old one, cause that's just a PITA with rusted on nuts )

 

I bought it about 3years ago on ebay for $650ish.
Install was easy,came with bracket for my application.
The middle console/seat lifts up to a compartment you can modify or remove for more space.

 

Sweet! Not a bad price at all. I found a set of bucket seats I was interested in, $250 each, AND I needed to find brackets or custom make some.


(also, where is your door handle? LOL - I've been looking at that picture for two days now, and I couldn't figure out what was missing)

 

Remote door poppers.
