Ok. I've searched the site and there appears to be four options re a replacement for the bench seat:

1. Late 90s GMAC van third row
2. Late 90s Dodge/Plym Caravan (third row?)
3. 2002 Excursion 3rd row
4. 1989 Ranger.

Options 1 & 2 appear to be the most plentiful. There is conflicting info re which Carvan seat it is. Can someone confirm it is the third row from the 90s Caravan?

Any strong opinions re GMAC vs. Caravan?

Thanks!

There are many more options than that. I've got an S-10 bench in mine. I never like using third row seats as they are often not that comfortable.

46gmcpu, how did you mount the S-10 seat? Looked at the album but couldn't see from there.

Hey guys, don't have any pictures. It was pretty straight forward. I removed the sheetmetal piece for the stock seat, and made seat risers from 2x2 and 2x4 tubing, stacked on top of each other and welded together. That was the height I wanted. Welded angle iron tabs to the sides of the tubing top and bottom, bolted them to the floor with large washers underneath, and bolted the stock S-10 seat frame to the top. A little bit of fabrication but it worked great. I used 2x4 and 4x4 blocks under the seat frame to determine what height I wanted.
