Ideally they would be a 40-20-40 setup with the seat back on the console folding down to make an armrest and provide storage for the cd changer, etc. My 2004 Ram has the exact configuration I am looking for but of course it is too wide.
I have the buckets from the 74 Camaro donor of the drivetrain and could fab up the console but was wondering if anyone knows of a seat setup like I am looking for. So far searching the local dismantlers has been futile since they want specific year and model info to do a search and I don't know that info. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 159 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2009 Posts: 159 | 2000 Buick Lesabre. Has seat configuration you want, center console folds down, and shoulder harnesses built into the seats. If I had to do it over again, I would leave the stock seat riser on the floor and build a platform for the Lesabre seats to attach to. That would put them at about the right height without having to raise the seat bottoms to the very highest. (Of course that's referring to 6-way power seats)
They leave about 1-1/2" on either side between the doors. Good fit.

After more research, I found discountvantruck.com They had a seat I could order in the style and upholstery I wanted. The stuff I found at the junkyard was just that, junk. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 2,393 | Thanks for the tip.

I'm glad you posted that seat site. Very useful for modifiers of these trucks.

They have a large selection of seats built for your specific truck. I too was looking for a bench with a center armrest. That way I could seat someone in the middle and when only two could use the armrest. Their seats come with lots of adjust-ability and power sources on the seat. My Seat
