Bench seat for 2nd gen bed

My girl and I go to the local drive inn movie (http://www.bengies.com/) theater allot and we back the truck up and sit in the bed and watch. The problem is that there is nothing comfortable. We tried bean bags, lawn chairs, etc... So I have some scrap wood lying around and decided to make a bench. This is how far I got. I am going to paint it black and get cushions.



Update:

 

interesting.

 

cover it with foam (closed cell) and a upholstery and that would be sharp at any get together / fishing/camping/trip

I would have utilized the well notch for the back maybe

 

Yeah thats the plan but the i want to paint it black first and there is a shit ton of snow outside( i paint out side easy clean up)

 

I dont think it looks to bad. I'm sure it will look a lot better once it is complete. I say got for it!! I mean if its only going to be used mostly to watch movies then you guys should be good to go. Plus you can stretch out your legs when sitting down.

 

Looks better than the bench I had in my 88' chevy. Can't wait to see how it looks when it was finished. Here's a suggestion how about adding a cup holder. I had one on mine it was just a wood board w/a hole in it. LOL and I would just wedge my beer/coke in there I made it in wood shop back in high school.

 

Looks good

 

Great idea and has other applications too!

 

SWEET like the subaru brat.
here is a company that makes little seats

Any one know where i can fine some cheap foam?

 

Get a mattress. You can lay down and watch the movie.

 

tryed it but the hill you park on puts the back of the truck up and it hurts your neck.

 

Use closed cell so it will not soak up water and moisture
any reupholster shop should set you up

Or the Walmart look at exercise mats or camp sleep mats

 

Great idea thanks

 

Get the idea of making it urself, but why not get an old bench seat from van or pickup?

 

bow chicka wow wow

 

LOL, HAHAHHA!!! I knew someone would start in on the perverted stuff sooner or later!!

 

I looked into it but local junkyards wanted alot

 

This was just a quick mount up of my old bench seat on a wooden frame. I've got a better setup now, but no pics.



It works great when we're surf fishing. Way more comfortable than any camp chair.

 

Allsome!! i would do this but bench seats cost money and one of the movies req are that you are below the top of you truck so my head would need to be below the roof. but looks allsome
