Dibs on your split bench!  I'm runnin some buckets out of an 86 nissan 300zx, and they're pretty comfy and bolt up with minimal mods.  Front has an air bag adjustment, rear area can go up and down, head rest adjusts front to back and there's side bolstering.  Had 89 camry seats before these, but they weren't as comfortable, and I got tired of the stinkin rolling knob to tilt forward rather than the release lever.  The trick is to try finding a car with a fairly flat pan, cause a lot of them have the mounts a few inches higher near the center hump.

I have Mastercraft Sportsman seats in my 83'.  well worth the extra money!  i haven't got my sliding mount for it yet, those suckers are basically bolted straight to the floor.  i can see over the dash fine being 6'2", but my wife can't drive the truck. Maybe it's better that way!  :greengrin:

Well, after 300 k my stock split bench was saggy as hell. I was sitting on the floor basically. I went to the pick and pull and got some barely used 92 celica seats. $20 each. Nice looking seats but not too comfy. I felt like I was sitting too low even after using some spacers. I gave the seats to a friend and now am back to a different stock bench.

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!

Early, Mid '90s (insert Honda/acura what ever they were)

$70 bucks from a PnP.  Very clean.  Even has a "memory" button.  (what ever that is)

I'd suggest what ever seats you get, make sure the bottom of the seat is FLAT.  Makes for an easier install.

Driver side is adjustable, passengers is fixed.

When they turned part of a local high dollar yard into a u-pull-it, I missed out on some 02ish trailblazer leather seats.  Went home, thought about it for a couple of days, then went back and they'd already crushed the truck.  I snoozed, I losed!

How do you like the PRP's? I was thinking about going with a set of their lowbacks for my truck.

I got a set of 96' Prelude Si seats. Anybody know of a how to install with pics or ideas on how to install them. I have some ideas, but a thread with pics would help as well.
