Hello Johnny,

I got them off Craigslist from someone who wanted to go with bucket seats first, and then decided to go with a bench seat.
Company is TMI, and American made.  I'm happy with them.  I welded up a custom seat rack which allows both buckets to slide together and space for a custom center console I am fabricating out of MDF which will slide with the seats.

Johnny,

Did you read that...someone thought they wanted buckets seats and then realized the bench seat was better.

Powerhouse,

Your design sounds amazing and very creative! Please share pictures with us when you have time.

Personally, I like the extra room.  I found the bench to be very puffy. I was able to mount the buckets as far back as possible and made the rack with angle iron. I've tried to post pics, but it keeps saying file too large.
I'm sure somebody on here has fabricated something similar.

Here is a pic of the rack. I had to shrink the pic. Center console will bolt to the cross members on the frame.
