I removed the standard bench and put what I call bench buckets out of an '84 in (significantly taller back) without removing a door in my 74 regular cab. My problem was available help...........she didn't so much as %%tch about it but her pessimistic attitude about it fitting as she held the other end was a real buzz kill..........pick your help with that in mind.........just say'n.
Why not just fold the back forward? If you put a towel under the bracket, and drag it out of the passenger side, you wont be fighting the steering wheel.
i just pulled mine out by myself by putting a 30" long piece of 2x6 lumber under the driver side bracket so it could slide as i pulled it out the passenger side. Mine is a Standard, i have the shifter pulled out as well, but i dont think it would interfere much anyway. I let it fall to the ground and stood it up on end. Im going to wait for help to put it back in though!
