Troop seats

Does anyone know how to build the folding troop seats? I want a set but I cant find any near me and they are usually expensive.
Thanks

I have no idea what those are. I wasn't sure exactly what you were referring to so I Googled "Troop seats" and hit the image option. Thats one of the hits I came back with....

Re: Troop seats

Man, that is cool! I could see something like that being handy for hunting trips, parades, and a bunch of other stuff.

Re: Troop seats

have you checked out some of the military surplus auctions? the M1009 had those, might could find one that is surplus.

steel soldiers.com is a good place to maybe find some of those.

Re: Troop seats

Im not too concerned about how uncomfortable they are since I wont be sitting in them, and im sure there not as bad as just sitting in th bed. I want them for when I go 4 wheelin if anyone wants to ride in the back or when we have more people than seats. I had an idea come to me today about making my own. If I do it I will let everyone know since its gonna be easy and not to expensive. Thanks

Re: Troop seats

Most just mount a back seat out of something in the back facing the tailgate.

I was thinking about just mouning a seat like that but I think it would be to hard to take it in and out. I need the bed open for when I use it for work. Thata why I like the troop seats, I can just fold them up and still have all of the room I need and they will help keep some of the stuff from blowing out.
