I know that someone has placed bucket seats in their truck. I am considering putting some in my Luv. Just looking for some suggestions as to what may fit best. Thanks

I went to Pick-N-Pull and checked the smaller foreign cars and found a pair like new from some kind of Renault. Lots of small car seats will fit, just take a tape measure when you go. The seats have to have both adjustment tracks horizontal, bolting flat to the floor, or able to be modified. I used some pieces of aluminum tubing maybe 1 1/2" under seat tracks to jack the seats up a little.

Thing is there's no room in a LUV cab for reclining if seat is adjusted for 5'-11" size driver. The seats should have a thin backrest for best results.

Seats out of small two door sports cars work best in Luv's. Most have a quick release lever that lays the backrest forward and slides the seat forward in one quick action, great for accessing those tools we all keep stashed behind the seat.

It does have a license plate so technically it is a street truck, that sets off car alarms and makes kids cry. lol
