will it work? i feel like the burb is narrower than the truck, but that's just a guess. any help would be appreciated, especially as we dont have the bench seat nearby (3 hr drive) to measure it.

I forget by how many inches but they are wider.
many people have cut them down to fit though | | | | | Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 18 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2007 Posts: 18 | that's kind of what i thought. wouldnt be opposed to cutting it, but i wonder how the truck seat frame aligns with the seat brackets in the bed of the burb? my burb didnt come with any rear seats so i've no idea how/if the seat mount locations would mate up to a truck seat frame.
