j-series bench seat question

[J20man]

I've got a 73 j4000 with quite a wrecked bench seat, is there a bench seat from another pickup that fits quite well in these trucks, like maybe from a mid 80's dodge pickup??

I've done searches on here and never found a really solid answer, so I went to the local wreaker with a tape measure and specs....and found nothing that I could use.

Of cource, the cherry bench seat in a 67 they had in the back that "wasn't ready to head into the yard" was off limits, and stayed that way until it got crushed 2 months later....thanks, I hopes it worth more to them crushed. :S

So yeah, if anyone knows, other than what I ended up doing (Finding another J-truck) can they pass it on please! Haha

when I bought my Gladiator it had the front bench seat out of a Wagoneer, on some homemade brackets. It fit up pretty nicely. But I junked it for bucket seats from my old CJ.

ya, haven't found a solid answer either, i'll keep looking for now.

There are several options...

Straight bench seat, a mid 90's to early 2000 Dodge Dakota is really close to the right width...I think the Toyota Tacoma bench is also really close to right...if you can find one.

I just swapped into mine the 3rd seat out of a full size GMC Conversion Van...worked pretty darn good, link below...
