I was thinking about getting one of those Eighty - Five, but , the duct tape is so much cheaper.

yes, the tracks do need to be changed, but if your swapping out your original bench then the tracks are right there... i swapped a 90's bench into my 73 then gave the 73's bench to a buddy for his 65.

granted i used to just put my coffee on the dash. the death wobble always stirred it really well.

Found a aftermarket plastic console I forgot I had, sits on top of the seat. The above picture is dumb, btw. If she was laying down in the truck, her head would be in your lap! Dummy.

Yo Eighty-Five, can I get the upgraded model?

The only thing I have to fix with the upgraded model is her road noise. It keeps going even when she'd be OUT of the truck!



On a side note, I found one of these style cupholders in the auto parts section at a store last night. The one in this picture was too big for me so I got a smaller model.

Gonna pull the dash face today and screw it on in the same location as yours Galendor.

I have had to change the tracks on a couple of bench seats before. The last three I did not change anything, they went right in. I have a split back bench from a 90's truck in my 79 shortbed. It bolted right up. I have a 93 crew cab seat in our 75 f-600 and a 90's with the armrest in a 65. Now that I think about it, I did change the tracks to put it in the 65.
