I have a 79 Macho Power Wagon clone. I bought it built but the seats are generic bucket seats, individually mounted with a separately mounted console between them. I’d like to get the correct ones. Does anyone know if the buckets in the LRE, Warlock and MPW were individually mounted or mounted on a full width frame with a buddy seat in between? Was there individually mounted buckets in any of the trucks? If I can find the right frames I can buy the correct seat covers and make it all work.

 

Here is a sales brochure for 78. The seats (lower left) are an option. Not exactly sure what years they where available on but i know 78 for sure. The frame is a round tube that the seats and buddy seat attach to. As in your other post i did a search on ebay and nothing came up so you may have a chore finding these. I can take pics of the seats i have if you like.

 

Thanks Moparite. That seat was also available in 79 for sure, I have the 79 brochure. I expect the bench seat was standard equipment. I’ll post a picture of my console when I get home in a couple days. I’m fairly certain that it’s Dodge but maybe not correct for 78 or 79. My 79 clone was built with a 78 cab. So what I’d like to do is put in the driver and passenger seat from the brochure picture but without the smaller centre seat and I’m not sure if they were ever available individually. There’s a pair of seats in Ohio for sale that are from a 60s A-100 that look very similar, low back and rather square but without knowing the dimensions of each I’m reluctant to grab them. It would be a grand fair the seats and proper new covers from Legendary and if they don’t for each other, then what?

 

Ok, I’m starting to rethink this. My research today showed that my console is an 81-93. As much as I love the bigger console I’m now thinking of pitching it and the seats and putting in the proper arrangement. In the proper seat/console setup does the “console” have compartment in it to store things or is it just a small seat with a back that folds down for an armrest?

 

The top opens up and there is a compartment under it.

 

What are the dimensions of the compartment? I need to be sure the stereo equipment will fit in
