curtile13 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Looking to take the bench seat out of my 720 and putting in some buckets. Just wanting some other opinions about picking some comfortable seats. What would you guys recommend? Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 You need to sit in a seat and see what is comfortable for you I will say the early accord bucket seats fit right in my 720, all i had to do was put a small L bracket on the back of the seat rails to bolt them in the original 720 bolt holes. Been over a year and still works great. I have pics if interested. I did have to remove head rests since mine is a standard cab. Quote Link to comment

curtile13 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 How is the fit inbetween the seats? Is it tight or is there a fair amount of room? Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Depends on the size of your bucket. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 There is some space there, not a ton tho Quote Link to comment
Z-train Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Depends on the size of your bucket. Mike-do older guys have bigger buckets? These are the buckets in my truck.I asked someone to ID them.but so far no-one has. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 Some do but I ride a bike and mine stays about the same. No idea on your buckets. Quote Link to comment
izzo Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 those look like neon seats, or that out of one of those 90s/early 2000s mitsu mirage etc Quote Link to comment
E.Lucas Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Those look like dodge caravan seats to this guy... Quote Link to comment
nismo dr Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 they look gray to me Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I used dodge neon seats, there eveywhere but you do sit a little higher, I was able to bolt to the stock seat mount holes, but I also have a kingcab 720. I put hundi accent seats in my 521 with 1" blocks in the front mount holes, but it has been kingcabed also. I would post Oics. but photobucket isn't working again, it's aggravating, like going out to start your truck in the morning, and finding out it isn't going to start till it feels like starting, and there is nothing you can do about it. wayno Quote Link to comment
curtile13 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 so it seems like older acura seats will work better for a non extra cab truck? Quote Link to comment
Sealik Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 1993ish Mazda MX3 seats....3 of 4 bolts fit I believe. Pathfinder....2 bolts....? Find some 85 ST seats, if at all possible. Cloth and very comfy.....4 bolts ;) I had buckets in my red cab....bench is back in, much better Quote Link to comment
SDP45 Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I was able to pull out the bucket style bench seat in my 82 for a bench seat from my 81 parts truck. Most of the bolts were a correct fit. I was worried the seat would not stay in place properly, being modified to fit the newer truck, but that was four years ago and no troubles at all.

Cloth and very comfy.....4 bolts ;) I had buckets in my red cab....bench is back in, much better Sealik, are those for standard or king cab models? Anyone have a good list of what fits or is easiest to modify into a 84 KC? Mine are in decent shape but the springs must be gone because they're damn uncomfortable. Quote Link to comment

Mine are in decent shape but the springs must be gone because they're damn uncomfortable. Both...the standard cab has the holes in the floor for the buckets. They are just plugged from the factory Quote Link to comment
7204wd Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Ok so consensus says, early accord buckets with a minor mod for 1 bolt (L-bracket), Dodge neon seats bolt right in? (years?),(1993?) mazda mx-3 buckets fit 3 of 4 bolts line up, and pathfinder seats have 2 of 4 that line up? So probaby safest bet for little to no mod in a king cab is dodge neon seats?

RedSquare Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Well, 280zx seats are a direct bolt in I hear. Quote Link to comment

Wylder1324 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Gotta be something Nissan with comfy seats......of all things a Dodge Neon.... Quote Link to comment
curtile13 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 What about seats from a toyota like a older 4runner. Has anybody tried those? Quote Link to comment
wayno Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Dodge/Plymouth neon seats almost bolt into the 720, you just need big thick washers. If your a tall human, your head might get close to the ceiling though, they are firm seats. Quote Link to comment
