I recently purchased my truck at an auction here in Denver, and I could not be happier with it! It has 193k on it, and runs like its brand new. The only complaint I have for this vehicle is that the front bench is TERRIBLE. It is an XL model and therefor affords no comfort. I am looking to replace the front bench with a 40/20/40 set up. At this point I am having a difficult time finding anything in the appropriate years (99 - 03) that would work and am wondering if any seats from a newer or older model outside that range would work? I am on a tight budget and do not want to order new seats for $800 online. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

 

You could always make a cardboard template and head down to the local salvage yard.

 

Stupidly, I didn't think to make a template. Thanks for that tip. The local yards are not yielding too many of the 99-03 models, so anything else you could think of would be great! Thanks for your reply.

 

Quick search on car-part.com looks like there might be some stuff in your area, check that out. Not sure if there is a cutoff on what newer years will fit.
