Went from this:

To this:

Just need to change out the door panels, get a tilt column and new steering wheel and the interior will be done. I'm so much happier with the bench seat.

Way nicer. I'm not a fan of modern or non stock buckets in our squares... IMO I'd say you just increased the value of your truck by quite a bit!!!

You done messed up. J/K lol. What were those old buckets and console out of?

Looks 100% better with the bench seat. I like the material and the stitch pattern.

It is a aftermarket seat sitting on a universal frame. Although the seat is comfy I couldn't get comfortable in the seat with the center. After I pulled the seat I saw that the center section height is adjustable. I think that may have made a difference but the seat was so far back it was pressing on the rear window and I couldn't use the sliding rear window. I have one person coming to look at the seat today and another on standby to get it out of the garage.

There are a couple of things you'll miss. You'll miss the center console, and you'll miss the way the buckets conformed to your body more. Also where to set your right arm.
