Is there a bench upgrade you can do without bracket fabrication? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I want to upgrade the bench in my truck to another bench, possibly one with a fold down center console like a 40/20/40.

Is there any swap that will allow me to reuse my rails and sliders?

I thought about buckets, but I'm going to just stick with a bench.

edit: btw I have an 86 reg cab.

try www.trucknvans.com thats where i found the seats for my 85 i bought buckets with a fold down center console/jumper seat and it came all on one frame and bolted to the factory bench seat mounting holes, im not sure if they do exactly what your looking for but have a look n see

I know exactly what you are going through man...I found out swapping to buckets would be a pain in the ass on my burb. So I talked with these guys and they have a solution for a hybrind bench. I just wanted a higher back and console option. With this, I got it so I will order in 2 weeks. http://www.discountvantruck.com/truc...seatsPismo.htm

So there's not really anything I can do that is taking another set of seats from another truck and transfering my brackets over to them...

Thanks for the links though fellas.
