I am considering changing my seat - currently black vinyl bench. Not real interested in buckets as I sometimes need 3 seats. Some of the newer trucks have nice bench seats that are divides like buckets with a middle seat that folds to a console. Anyone with thoughts or experience?
TIA

I posted a similar question when I decided to get rid of my buckets. I wasn't successful finding anything and wound up buying a used bench seat.
The seats I was looking at were pull-outs sold by Truck and RV Supply in Indiana. You can see one at: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1873724652
I thought these would've been perfect, but from the dimensions I saw in some of their ads, they just wouldn't fit in my '68. You may want to give them a call.

In looking at the eBay ad again, I noticed that they replace the pull-outs with custom seats from Luxliner. Searched for their site and found this:: http://www.a1-truckseats.com/monarch.htm
They're 58.5" wide too - obviously same size as the ones they take out - don't know how much room you got in your '67. They're nice seats though and not too expensive. If they really custom make them, they may be able to leave an inch or two out of the center seat.

Those are exactly the seats I was looking at. I figured they would be too tall, regardless of width. That is the idea I was after tho. Mebbe I'll get in touch with them ennyhow to see.
