Want to put a bench seat in back of super cab and toss side riders.

I'm looking at a super cab body (8/91) to put on my truck frame (6/88). It has the 2 side seats in the back. Has anyone ever swapped in a bench and tossed the side riders? I'm hoping its just a bolt in deal. I got 3 kids to haul. Thanks.

Like Dusty said, you'll need the interior trim if you want a nice clean install, otherwise the seat will bolt right in.

The jump seats were such a stupid option, I've only seen them once.

check the back of the cab on the outside, if I remember right there is a bracket out there between cab and bed you need to bolt the seat up too, through the cab wall. could be wrong, my memory not what it used to be, and it's been a while since I fooled with a super cab
