I have the original stock low back bench so far.

I have a pair of Besttop Highback, reclineable seats from a previous jeep as a posibility.

The reclining part would be useless in this cab so likely will sell them to someone even if they would fit.

I want something highbacked as this truck will smack your head on the rear glass when shifting to 2nd a full throttle.

Want some storage in the middle I can reach and can be a seat such as a bucket bench with fold down console or buckets with a center seat that folds down to a console. If a Center seat/console does not need to be high back but want it strong.

Will end up with at least a shoulder belt and likely a harness as I plan have off road fun as serious as this sprung over, 33 to 37 inch tire, 350 V-8 TH350 tranny Dana 300 transfer with rear detroit and selectable rear locker can handle.

Will consider any ideas that give middle storage and the ability to have a girl sit next to me, or have three in the cab total.

If buckets may need to be wider than my besttops as not only am I not small but have a hip issue such that I can't sit with my legs straight (I have a very unlady like spread when I sit).

Not sure if 4 wheelers sill offers a custom built center seat/console?

What are some donor vehicles that have seat set ups like this if I decide to go the junk yard route?

Suggestions?


Thanks,

Tom
