After driving my 620 for that last 4 months now, (trouble free), the 3rd row seat out of a 1986 is working pretty well. I'm 5' 11" so it is more cramped than the original but the seat is comfortable since it was hardly ever used, so I'll give up a little room for a comfortable ride.

The original seat is absolutely toast but we'll save it for a future rebuild, until then we have a third row seat out of a 1986 Suburban with nothing to do so we did some quick measuring and found it will fit, just have to un-bolt the arm rests.

 

The original seat is behind the tan seat.

Size it up...

Remove the arm rests and make a couple of mounts and we're good to go..

funny this popped up again. i got the truck back yesterday, and my frontier bench seat works nicly. fits good, i'll get pictures soon but my camara broken. i looks like it was made for it really. it is just sitting in there now, i havn't mounted it yet. i had some buckets sitting on the floor and it seemed to provide much more headroom of course but less leg room. with the bench i have good legroom but my head touches the roof. i'm still looking for some lowback old school buckets.

I have some as I made it more complicated than it had to be and then bolted some speakers in at the same time, (another mistake but now I don't have to whistle)

 

Will try to post them tonight.

Sorry, couldn't find them, must have deleted them thinking no one would want to see how I configured my mounts.

 

I ended up using a piece of flat sheet aluminum and some plumbing pipe for spacers to lift it off the floor so it wouldn't teeter on the hump.

 

I mounted some speakers in the aluminum plate which are going to come out in the near future and when I remove them I'll take a picture or two of how I mounted them.

 

On another topic, I did get a new gauge for my dash, it's called
