I couldn't decide either, ended up with a bench seat and a removable center console, kind of the best of both worlds (?)

Do you remember the Datsun truck of the early to mid 70's??? They had a bench with a notch cut our for the shifter, I've been wondering what the width is on those old seats?

That looks great, Rich! What is that seat out of? Is it tight in there? 56's are considerably wider than Bonus Builts.

I have a bench seat from a Nisson pu upstairs in the loft. It is 50 inches wide has the center notch for the shifter and built in headrests. I have kept it because it has a nice thin back so it fits well in small cabs such as the 48 to 51's.
