60/40 bench seat?

[Loganbpilger]

So I have a 80 chevy reg cab with the stock bench seat but I am looking at putting in a bench with flip down console from a 93 chevy. wondering if it would work or if anyone else has done this? or what i would need to do to make it work?

[Captkaos]

It has been done, but the seat is physically narrower than the 73-87 version.

[Loganbpilger]

Now by narrower, your talkin door to door right? and is there any other seat or seats that might work because I love the bench but would love a flip down arm rest/ console, That or if there is a way to make a center flip down seat when using two bucket seats?

Dodge trucks like the old Lil' Red Express truck had buckets with a flip down "buddy seat" in the center. Could always run buckets out of a van if you want an armrest.

Ya a buddy of mine is into all things dodge and told me there are options there, but i would like to keep it bow tie, I thought about the seats out of a van but really like being able to fit 3-4 people in the truck!

this would make sense for a quick fix

My seat is in great shape, was thinking of getting the foam kit from LMC, and the console from there will cost me $100 by the time I get it, I could go to canadian tire though and pick one up for $20.

There is a post somewhere about putting a '73-'77 malibu/ El Camino seat in. I think the brackets need to be switched or something? It is a split bench with a fold down armrest and headrests. The look similar to this

so if that seat is narrow are you saying it wont work . cause i just bought 1 for 50 bucks in perfect condition and was getting ready to put it in my 78

It should work just fine, you will just have more room between the seat and the door panel. Though I don't know if it will sit up any higher or lower than the older ones due to the floor board heights.

Would a bench out of an 80s/90s Station Wagon work? Seems to me it could but don't know.

I have a 60/40 slit bench from a 93 tahoe in my 77. I just made a 1 piece frame out of square tubing to keep the seat straight and to retain the 60/40 function while using the original holes in the floor. The floors are different and the newer seat has taller brackets.
