Alright, so I've looked at like 4 pages of the forums and haven't found anything. My 79 needs a new seat or the one that's in it needs to be reupholstered. My dad suggested maybe looking through some of the SUV's that have a third row and trying that. Anyone have any ideas? :D

For some reason 3rd row seats are a hot commodity these days. I've heard of suv's being broken into only for the seat.
Many of us have gotten bucket seats from a junkyard car, but you will need to do some fabricating or drill holes to mount them. Easiest, and maybe the least money is to have yours redone. Check a couple auto upholstery places. I was surprised how little it was going to be. I think I had a quote for $150-200.

I have a late '80's early '90's Mazda truck bench seat in mine including seat belts. It bolted into the LUV really easy and even has a belt for the middle passenger.

I might have to look for another little truck. I didn't even think of that. I forgot to say that I pretty much have access to any vehicle that comes into my dad's workplace, and most of them are things like old ford exploders :roll: :roll: . Every once in a while a newer S10 or Ranger will come in. I'll have to see. Thanks for the help guys! You got my head thinkin in the right direction. :D

Your truck should have the attachment points already in the cab floor. Find a same year model truck as yours in salvage and buy both seats complete to include the seat belt buckles and attachment hardware.
