Driving without seats...
 

Ok, here's a semi-humorous Thread.

I have to take the bench seats out of my truck at some point in order to work on the floor (minor water damage). I'm debating what to do to it: POR or LineX. I may need to get the truck to another location.

Question: Is there a safe, jury-rigged way to drive the truck without the regular seating installed? As funny as that sounds, it's a somewhat serious question. Soapbox? Lawn-chair? lol.

Thanks.

Ive used an egg crate before. Nothing you do is going to be "safe" IMO

Its only 4 bolts that hold the seat....cant you put the seat back in to drive to another location the remove it again?

Dont even do the 4 bolts..... Just do 2 that are the easiest to access.

I am for just throwing the seat in with a bolt or two. I have done the lawn chair thing as a perminant lightweight seat. It is safe enough if done right.

I don't know if your serious, but all 4 bolts are stupid easy to get to..
how much do you value your life? how about others.. what if you fall out of your lawn chair and kill someone...

i did the exact same thing you are talking about with a 5 gallon bucket during my por prep/radio install week. only drove it around here on the farm.

was so high on the bucket, i had to stick my head out of the window ace ventura style.

i do NOT recommend anything but original seats for safe driving.

I would expect the seatbelts to be the last thing out and first thing in. Don't drive without belts or with a seat that could wander. Slap the seat in pull the belts up and go. If yor broke the bolts off what better time to install new ones then now.
