Bench seat swap info needed... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nxtruck · 04-06-2010, 11:57 PM

Guys, I posted this in the 60'-66' section, but thought I'd post a thread in here, too.
I'm planning on swapping my race buckets for a bench seat, but here's the catch: I can't fit a seat any wider than 55" in my truck, because of the rollcage. Does anyone have any info on what applications would use a bench seat approx. this wide? Has anyone swapped seats out of another vehicle and have the dimensions on the seat? I tried contacting the local salvage yards and asking a few questions, but they were both of limited help.
So, if anyone has any suggestions or info, I'd really appreciate it!!
Thanks in advance!!

My 91 bench is 58'' that will squish down 1.5''. The 2000 sonoma is 49'' across

I have a 2nd row seat for my sons truck out of mid 90's suburban I'll measure it when I get home. You might want to check out a late model sunburban 3rd seat. like this one
