crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

has anyone ever seen a crew cab that the seat folded down into a bed i used to work with a guy that had a 80s Chevy crew that did this but i cant remember if the front seat folded back or if the back seat slide forward and folded down he said that there was company that doing this conversion for long time to these older crew cabs.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

yea theres a company that sold seat sets for the crew cabs that folded down I had looked at them years ago thinking I wanted one but at that time it was waaaaay out of my price range

I think it was a choo choo customs option also

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

Its conversion trucks that had them mines are fold down and its a choo choo custom

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

So i can get one from Conversion van what brackets do i need? the van ones for the trucks? i would love to do this swap!

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

It looks like the tracks from a front seat, not sure if they are the same or bolt up the same. I don't think mine was used too much, it's real hard to get it to slide....

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

WellbiltCustoms (username) on here had the fold flat rear seat out of my truck for sale on this site. Might be able to do a search in the classifieds and see it or give him a pm.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

OK thanks i sent him a pm they definitely tried to make these seats look like a couch back then

11+ year bump boys!!

Found one of these rear fold down seats for $100. Will need to be recovered, but I am stoked.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

Nice Find!

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

One of the things I like about this site is that no thread is ever too old. I've been on other forums where some punk will go off on somebody else for bringing up a thread that's 6 months old. But I guess when you're only like 17, then 6 months is a long time, haha. Anyway, good find on the conversion seat. What is it that you are going to put it in?

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

It's not bad when it's obvious that whomever brought back an old thread is fully aware of the last dated post (like how @Ford Assassin did it).

But when you get a guy that responds about how he had to change 'x' part & this is what he used on an 11yr old post about 'what to use' it's kind of a "Hello.... Look @ the dates on things your replying to" mode.

My 88 crew cab....still a Squarebody. Recently converted to 4wd. Did a 12v/nv4500 swap last year.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

Stop. You're making the rest of us look lethargic.... :lol:

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

Nice looking truck! I would like to convert my 85 cc to 4wd. Already did the Cummins swap back in 95.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

I didn't make it easy on myself. Went with radius arms and coilovers instead of stock traditional leafs. It rides nicer than my 2003 Silverado 1500 I used to own.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

Might be worth looking at the rear seat in conversion vans in the yards. Probably not many of them out there but worth a gander.
My folks had a Mark III Ford E250 high top conversion van back in the mid 70's that had a fold flat rear bench at the very rear of the van and a set of captains chairs in the front and centre positions of the van. Some vans had plywood and upholstery beds but IIRC it wasn't that uncommon to have a fold flat bench seat against the back doors.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

That's probably a decent idea for guys still searching.

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

Van fold out seats take a TON of fabrication to work. For starters, they sit a lot higher as a van has a flat floor. That isn't the brackets either. It is part of the actual frame. Not saying it can't be done just saying you should be really good at fabrication if you want to make one work. I have one of the crew cab fold out seats in My truck before I found one I looked at a ton of vans and they were just too different. Anything can be done with skills and time

Re: crew cab fold down seat to bed
 

That's a great looking rig and you've done a lot to make it very drivable. Attractive copilot as well.
