I'm not sure if I will keep it or not yet.
First option was a '99 suburban second row that was grey leather. (not sure if that would be good in Memphis heat)
Bolt holes almost line up. (well, close enough)


They were made to lean back some ('97 Dodge ram 1500 ext cab)but not enough to actually 'feel' comfy for a extended drive.
I guess if I keep them I could angle cut the front to get it to lean back some.
They sure feel nice though.. NO springs pokin you or crap falling down all the time under them. Even a nice arm rest/holder that can be a seat too!
Take a look..

If you're asking for more ideas, try the bench or split bench from a 88-98 chevy pickup. Generally they fit very well.

Thanks 46, It's just that those seats around here are pretty worn (and stinky..)
It looks like may have to go with the second row or 3rd row from another vehicle..
It's just too close and doesn't lean back enough.

I'll give it a loook-see.

Thanks. E

I had a contractor here to do some tile work. He put a bench seat from a mid 90's F150 in his 65. Fit pretty good.
