Question changing bench seat to?

I'm wondering what year, make, model seats, I could put in my truck. I'm looking for a split seat like 40,20,40 or 40,60. I was wondering what type of vechile would have the seat that would fit my 77 truck?

you can do a search in this forum, there have been many discussions on this procedure from the years that fit, to the brackets you will need.

Basically 73-96, all you have to do is bolt the new seat on to your existing seat rails.

Like the guys above mentioned, do a search. I was able to fit a '98 40/60 into my '79. I used the hardware off my '79 seat and drilled and tapped new holes on the '98 (after removing it's hardware). It sits a little closer to the floor and is tough to move back far (so it sucks if your 6'+), it's slightly less wide than my orginal seat, but ir works and has a hell of a lot more cushion. I also like the fac that I can get something from behind my seat w/o having to swing the entire bench forward. A lot of your question depends on how much you want to fabricate yourself. From my understanding, almost anything from the 80's will be a near bolt on.
