They are pricey, but the 3rd gen spit bench i had before smelled like some dirty kid slept on it for a year...if you lived in PA, i'd give you the GOOD bench out of my dad's 86'. i'd say hit up the local Pick-n-Pull the possibilities are endless. I once found some nice leather buckets in a newer Subaru somethin-or-other...it crossed my mind to stuff them in the truck, haha!
