Sup all,
I was thinking of somehow putting a full bench seat in my truck. I dont like the 60/40 and right now I have buckets. Its an 03 single cab edge. Any websites where I can buy a bench seat or any pics of anything like this? I already have good ideas on how to fab it once I find one for sale. Thanks.

 

Are you going to sale your current buckets? What do they look like? Color? Include a center console? A photo, or two, would be nice.

 

I suppose you could buy an old s10 or old ranger bench w/o the split. Get it recovered, and make new brackets. Or your could modify your current seats by welding the 2 halfs together at the sliders and have a shop modify the top of the seat to go al the way across. Just some ideas. But for me, i think bench'in a new compact truck is just worthless.

 

look for a ranger XL that has a bench and have it recovered. I know all the rangers that we have at work are fleet trucks and they have vinyl bench seats.

 

yea......but what year rangers. I think the early 2nd gen rangers had full benches.

I'm thinking the easiest way to do a full bench is to grab a XL vinyl 60/40, and have it reconfigured by welding the sliders in the same position/the sections together. Have the seat and back reconfigured to one piece by adding more foam and making into a, well, bench seat.

Ah heck....i dunno.

 

i want a bench seat really bad 2... i havent looked for any tho...

 

Well I found one I sorta like but its a lil to offroady for me I think. I am not sure yet. http://www.hunsakersports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=208

 

The rangers we have at work are 2001 and up. I'm sure that there would not be too much trouble to adapt them to his. Now they are fleet trucks and I'm not sure how hard they are to find. Good luck.

 

Thats a pretty sweet lookin seat!!!

 

:shutter: noooo i cannot stand bench seats after my first ranger, you slide around so much because theyres nothing holding you into the seat like in teh 60/40s

 

seat belt???

 

yea you still slide around, it doenst have those raised sides like in the 60/40s that hold your *** in and your sides...

 

yea im thinkin about puttin a bench in as well but i just need the money, time, and the ideas.....but i think its a great idea, send me anything or pics of it when u do it...ill appreciate it

 

heres mine
out of an 86 mazda

 

i like that but im looking to go with something a little bit more like what they have here and i need some ideas of how to put it in http://www.hunsakersports.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=208

 

Thats the same link I posted. Looks like you can either drill new holes in the floor and use the mounts it comes with. Or what I wanted to do is rig it up on the existing seat tracks. That way I can move it forward and backward still for access to my stereo. It will be a pain though releasing both tracks at once how I plan to do it so far.

 

yea i want to find a way to mount it to my sliders so i can still adjust it if i have to

 

Hey Dirty, you got plans to recover that bench? waiting on a paint scheme? I'm ready to see you truck Done ! lol

 

oh yeah it will be recovered
dont know exactly how yet but it will be

 

I have a 2000 3.0L XLT 4WD Ranger. I need to replace my front bench seats. I found a 97 Chevy S-10 bench seat for sale. Does anyone know if that bench seat would fit in my ranger?

Thanks
