bench seat to bucket seats conversion

I own a 93 s10 with a bench seat. I was wondering if it is possible to swap out the bench and put in bucket seats. The truck is not an extended cab. thanks

Re: bench seat to bucket seats conversion

did it in my 98, 3 of 4 bolts lined right up and literally bolted right in, only fab i did was i made a steel spacer, and took flat stock and drilled 2 holes in it so i could bolt one end of stock to seat and one end to truck floor, not a direct fit, not bad

Re: bench seat to bucket seats conversion

My Little Brother Took An Old Recliner, Unscrewed The Foot Pegs, And Then Drilled Four Holes In His Bed, And Used Four 3 1/2 Inch Bolts To Attach The Recliner To His Bed. He's Got A 90 That Has Been Through Hell And Back, But When We Go Fishing, We Get Into Fights About Who Gets The Truck Chair.

Re: bench seat to bucket seats conversion

The easiest thing I suggest is get 2 pieces of wood for each seat and mount the wood to your floor, then mount the seats to the wood... I started to do that with a set of seats out of 03' S10, but the seats bolted right up .
