I have a 1955 3100 which currently has bucket seats out a lexus! (previous owner not my taste.) nevertheless, looking to replace them with a more current bench seat. I have kids so i am looking for something with room for 3 with seatbelts. Any suggestions on what will fit with little fab?

My 1965 has 1991 a full size Chevy Truck bench seat. Seems to be the correct width and the seat brackets seem to fit well. Also has the little flip down arm rest for the driver.

I didn't do the installation. Previous owner did it.

Not sure if the width of cab is the same on a 55, vs. a 65 though.

Inspired to be different. Different in a way of my own, not in a way that others strive.

If it's a second series '55, (same as '56 through '59) seats from an '87 up chevy pickup fit. They're a little wider but there's room for them.

Kinda hard to find, but the bench seat out of a Scout Tierra Pickup seem to be about the same width as the seat that was in my 58...and its quite comfortable

40/60 [or whatever] bench from late 80's GM pickups work great in the 5-9's, common and piecea cake to install
