Bench seat swap info needed...

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!!
