A 60/40 has a "split" between the the seat where 60% of the seat is on one side and 40% is on the other. Each side can slide forward/backward of the other side. In most cases, the 60% is the drivers seat and the "center" seat/armrest.

you should look around for the threads on doing a seat swap from a newer truck. you will probably be able to get one at a junkyard pretty cheap, and it's supposed to be really easy to do.

Seats up until 1996 will swap right over if you exchange the seat tracks.

Ie: seat track from 70's truck to seat from 96 truck
