i would pull one out of a 90's ford and transfer the mounts from the current seat or make your own.

Re: looking for a bench seat with fold down center console

Well, now that I have drooled all over myself.... I may have to replace the crappy bucket seats with one of their bench seat kits.

Re: looking for a bench seat with fold down center console

Compared to finding an old seat and then getting it reupholstered, that site isn't a bad idea cost-wise...

If you could come across a new seat you'd be good, but finding a classy leather seat in a standard cab truck (that flips forward) is going to be a bit of an issue. Ebay is certainly your friend here.

Re: looking for a bench seat with fold down center console

My '95 has a bench with fold down center piece for writing on, etc. It's not a console, just a flat spot to put stuff on. It's also contoured quite a bit and has adjustable lumbar support, I'm thinking of having it recovered in some old school material and using it in my '56.

Re: looking for a bench seat with fold down center console

I was thinking of getting the front seats out of a dodge, my 01 quad cab had the bucket seats and the center counsol was a seat that the top folded down and was a storage area.
