Bolt in bench seat replacement for 77 C-10?

[Runner76]

The bench seat in my farm truck is shot. The junk yards don't have any 73 to 87 trucks to pull from. Are their other bench seat from later models that will bolt in without having to make new brackets? I have tried the search function, but what I found required making new brackets and I don't weld and would like to avoid that.

thanks, Frank

I put a '94 Chevy bench in mine. I relocated the '94's brackets on the '94 seat. I forget the particulars, since it was several years ago...but no welding. The '94 seat is several inches shorter than my '78 was, so I ended up redoing the brackets to off set the seat towards the driver side so my butt cheek wasn't hanging off the side.

Nothing is bolt in other than what was made for the trucks.

Not quite. There are some aftermarket seats that have different bracketry available for different year and model trucks, although I guess you could say that those were "made for the trucks" as well. They are available in buckets, 40/20/40, and benches.

Figure $1000 for aftermarket seats and bracketry. More if you want leather, seat heaters, etc.

I have been told that a bench from a mid 90s Ford will bolt in just by elongating the holes on the back of the bracket. I have access to a 95 ford so I will do some measuring.
