Thanks!

These are the same width as a stock bench.

These are the new seat sitting on an old bench frame. The seats are actually pushed tight together in this pic so once mounted and proper gap between the seats adjusted they were a little wider than what this shows.

[QUOTE=carboncrew;6904553]These are 2nd row seats from a honda odyssey ('take outs' from handicap conversion vans). Cheap, new and matched the 91 chevy light gray perfect led me to this decision.

These are the brackets I had to make:

Once again very clean truck , Im not into aftermarket seating,,,, though you nailed it, and that truck all aroud, with your burb upgraded burlwood interior, mirrors. and of course black, that pick-up would fit in at my house.

Ouch! That pretty much takes away the cheap part. I think he's selling them for a lot more nowadays too.

I could maybe carry a set halfway (oklahoma) when I visit my sis this spring, if that helps.

I appreciate the offer, I'll probably stick with my buckets for a while though. I have to use them for my center console that holds the tablet and camera system.

I did pretty much the same thing 86jimmy4x4 did with his seats, except i threw in a center jump seat from a 2003 pickup that I got from Ebay. Everything bolted in. No cutting and welding involved. I slid the center jump seat front brackets underneath the bucket seat brackets, and drilled the inside mounting holes through the floor, and got creative with some clamp style bracket for the back of the center jump seat. All in all it took me about 4 hours to do everything by my self. Went from factory torn up bench and red carpet to black carpet from LMC, Procar bucket seats and adapter brackets, purchased from summitracing. I think it turned out all right. The seats aren't sitting too high, and the steering wheel can be used inline with the steering column. I don't have to tilt it up more than center with the column.
