TasoZ24 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hi there. Looking for ideas for a new bench seat that is nice and comfy Have an 83 720 king cab m/t. The truck came with broken bucket seats from some other vehicle. Anyone have any luck with achieving this? 1 Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Should be an easy swap, they came with bench seats too. Pretty easy to find them as most seem to want the buckets. 1 Quote Link to comment
TasoZ24 Posted January 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Going to a yard soon trying find right dimensions for something that will fit. I can fab it onto these brackets fairly simply, maybe get bench bracket tho 1 Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 Are you going to recover the seat when you get it? I have an upholstery shop if needed. I might even have a bench seat.... 1 Quote Link to comment
TasoZ24 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Welp dog poop all over passenger will speed up this process. Custom upholstery is further down the line, but for now theres no interior due to dog and electrical problems. There is already soft plushy sides from last owner, a matching bench would be nice. Would like oldsmobile style but way too wide im sure. 1 Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have never seen a bench seat in a kingcab, makes it a hassle to get to the rear area I suspect, also the shifter might be an issue, as all 2wd kingcabs had a long shaft transmission. 1 Quote Link to comment
TasoZ24 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Was going to fab brackets make something work not enough space back there for passengers. Driver seat is trashed and passenger is gross, excuses for new things. Would really enjoy a bench rather than these buckets. Im going junk yarding once I get this wiring done properly. 2 Quote Link to comment

wayno Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 If you cannot find anything, there are a lot of buckets that will bolt in, or are close to bolting in. 1 Quote Link to comment
TasoZ24 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 For sure. Going to check out styles and sizes see what I come up with. Can you post pics from phone? New to tje whole forum thing. Maybe use these brackets and mod a seat onto them. Got tools and time, just need money :-) 1 Quote Link to comment
RATDAT3 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Oregon City is up near Portland....someone on here probably has a seat near you. 1 Quote Link to comment
denmarkboy Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 what kind of seat are you looking for , i have some kc buckets but they need covers , i ve never seen a bench in a kc before . i have access to lots of parts . Oregon is a big state when asking for random parts , shipping from one end of the state to the other can get spendy, maybe you could be more specific about the part of the state . Or even better go to the 720 sectio of trucks and start a build thread for your truck , so we can see what kind project we're workin with . 1 Quote Link to comment
TasoZ24 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 Was goin to once I put it back together and see where im at. Pinpointing electrical issues right now, takes up most my time for the a good part of a month. 1 Quote Link to comment
