Have Bucket Seats, Want a Bench!

[MackValdez]

Hello. I have a 1995 Tacoma with bucket seats. My seats have been covered since the day the truck was purchased and are in great condition. My family has grown and I really need a place for a third person.... I would like to swap out my seats for a bench. Anyone have a bench they would sell or trade???

My seats are gray in color. I can text you a picture if you give me your cell number.

Where are you located? (city/state?)

Is yours a solid bench or a 60/40? I have read somewhere that the 60/40 will fit but the solid bench may need extra brackets?

mine is a solid bench i think it will fit it used 2 bolts per side so u wont have to use all your holes

Ok. Let me talk to my husband. He told me he found somewhere that it doesn't fit right and wouldnt be safe.... I will find out. Any guess on what shipping would cost? I am in Texas.

okay sounds good , it should fi,t a bench uses 4 bolts, a bucket uses 4 bolts per seat, but i belive 95 to 2004 the seat mounting were the same, but i could be wrong though so ill read on it and ask members on this site for info

The bolt hole layout was *mostly* identical for benches, 60/40's, and separate buckets. Benches used only the 4 outermost bolt holes. There are differences between driver side 60/40 and bucket installations in some years / models (when there's a difference, one uses an inboard rear bolt hole on the tranny hump; the other uses a floor hole in that location).

Melissa:

(1) Seats are 'big', and shipping could get expensive. Both you and 03tacoma2rz might find it less expensive to locate used seats closer to your locations (Texas and Massachusetts).

(2) You can transplant either a solid bench or a 60/40 set. A 60/40 is really just a standard passenger side bucket seat with an extended driver side bucket.

Or... You could ship via Greyhound Bus Lines.. Less costly, not as quick but.. Less costly. As long as the pieces will fit in the "basement" of the bus, should be good to go.
