I have seen the 88+ bench seat installed in a 73-87. It sat way lower and made it difficult to see out of the truck, and I'm 6'3".

from what i know, 88+ tucks have a flat floor. meaning that the seat in a 73-87 truck would sit a lot higher because of our raised floors. ive seen a picture of someone beating out 1/4' by one inch metal to along the floor to make a bracket to weld to a chopped seat bracket on the 88+ truck seat.

I don't remember how the guy had done it, but I do know it was way to low. Maybe he didn't measure correctly. I'll try and remember to ask him next time I talk to him.

i bet he just attached the slider frame from the obs to the nbs seat

I talked to a guy at the local salvage yard about this same question. He assured me that 60/40 seats out of a mid-90's Dodge Ram would fit with only minor modifications. Still unsure though......I would love to have the 60/40 in the '85

Sorry for the unclear post. I just wanted it to be simple and anyone who had a answer would know what I was talking about.

I guess I am just going to sell the seats,. I can get some good coin here for them more than enough to get my stock bench recovered.
