Bucket seats?
Bucket seats?
Hello all. I am getting tired of my worn out bench seat. I know alot of guys say use low back buckets, and I was wondering if anyone has used these seats before? I realize I will need to do some custom fab work but I think I can handle that. Does anyone see why two of these would not work?

Re: Bucket seats?
Man they look sweet and never saw them before. Price is great.
Re: Bucket seats?
I thought the price was nice as well. I wish they had better pictures of the underside so I could see how they mount to the actual adjustment frames. I think it might be a christmas gift to myself. I will kepp the post updated as to if i get them

Re: Bucket seats?
Keep in mind that stock buckets for these trucks mounted to a wide frame. The bench seats just have tracks so you'd have to fabricate something anyway.
Re: Bucket seats?
By wide frame do you mean it spanded from the passenger side to the driver's side? Do you have any pictures of the frame set up?

Re: Bucket seats?
BEst I could find from when I did mine. I used A100 seats at first but they killed me so I swapped out for Lil Red style. You may be able to use your bench tracks and then use tubing or something to distribute the weight.
Re: Bucket seats?
That seat looks a lot like the one i posted

Re: Bucket seats?
Those JEEP seats look like the Adventurer bucket seats. Here are a couple pics of the seats and frame. ONLY the driver seat is adjustable (forward and backward). The passenger seat is mounted directly to the seat frame.
Re: Bucket seats?
Thank you Jim. I think they will fit. Now I just need to convince people that that is what I need for my next gift. I will figure out my own center portion. I' thinking something more like a storage bin like you find in a newer full size SUV.

Re: Bucket seats?
You may be able to find a center section like we have separately. I got lucky and found 1.

Re: Bucket seats?
You may find something in a newer vehicle too.... my 2003 Chevy Suburban has a really nice center console arm rest that is "similar" to the one in my Sweptline.
