Bench Seats

I'm looking for a CC with bench seats in the front but all I am finding is captian chairs. I was wondering if I would get a truck with captian chairs is there any way I could get them replaced with a split bench seat. Thanks

I'm sure that a lot of the xl trim trucks have bench seats. I'm sure if you bought one with the Capt. chair set up there would be more than a few with the bench that would be happy to swap with you.

Yes, the way I understand it, the mounting points are the same. The only thing that may not be there are some of the electrical connections if one of the trucks has power and/or heated seats. Then there could be an issue for the truck that had them if they still wanted those functions. But I am 90% sure that the mounting locations are the same otherwise.

You have to watch where the seat belts are mounted as well. Some are mounted on the pillar,some on the seats.

GrindStaff:

If you find a truck you really like, and it comes with C/C seats, buy it.

Depending on where you are located, I'm sure someone here would be willing to do a straight trade for the Capt./C fronts.

You would simply have to swap for the same color.

Although I have the leather bench front in my C/C truck, it wouldn't matter a whit to me which it had, as I rarely have more than 3 folks in the truck at a time.

When it's a Crew Cab truck, it's seldom you find yourself out of seating room.

Good luck,

Richard

I really like the bench and the flip up console. When its me and the wife, the console is down. When the pooch is along the console goes up. I love it!

I took a Bench seat out of my F550 CC. and installed National Airride seats. 100 dollars + freight will make it yours. It comes with all the brackets. PM me if you want it. Barney
