    I have a pair of 2001 Celica seats that I modded to bolt into my '99 Tacoma. They will bolt into any Tacoma 95-04 that had stock bucket or 60/40 seats.. They are blue and black cloth and are in good condition. All trim pieces are intact, cushions are firm, mechanics work well. There are a few stains that were there when I got them from the yard, but they aren't too bad. The cloth on the driver's side left-side cushion is a little pilled. It's from the seatbelt rubbing and every Celica seat I looked at was like that or worse. This was the best one I saw.

    All of the fabbing is done and these will bolt right in to your truck and look badass. I didn't re-paint the rails after the fabbing. I was going to, but never got around to it. I included a pic of that.


    $400

    Seats + supplies + labor

    Local pick-up in Sacramento.

    Thought I'd add some other numbers and considerations for people to throw around:

    Stock Tacoma seats from a bone yard start at $200 a piece. They're very hard to find, are usually covered in blood and broken glass, the trim pieces are broken, and there are stains, burn marks, tears, etc. They're also horribly uncomfortable.

    Decent aftermarket seats start at $400 a piece and on top of that you need to buy brackets or fab some so you can bolt them in.. So you are easily looking at $1000 minimum that way.

    2001 Celica seats are like racing seats and are much more comfortable. They start at around $125 from a bone yard. They too have all the same problems as the Tacoma seats. Plus you have to deal with the bone yard folks all day during your search for decent ones. Then, you have to either do a bunch of work fabbing them or take them to a metal shop. A metal shop will charge $300-500, depending on what you want done, how you want it done, etc. They also may end up burning shit in your truck. So in that case you are looking at $550 minimum, most likely more, and possibly some burnt up carpet in your truck.

    My seats are all done and ready to go.

    Everything in California is expensive. And hard to find.

    When a junk Tacoma hits a yard, it's picked clean in 48 hours.

    Sorry they're sold. But to answer your question, I'm not sure if the mount points are the same between the bucket seat tacomas and the bench seat tacomas. The 60/40 bench/bucket version is the same as the bucket, but the single bench is different, I think.

    There are aftermarket brackets that you can buy that will work with the bench version. You could buy those and weld whatever seats you wanted to them. (or buy the appropriate seats, but they are expensive)

    Or you could have a fab shop make you something. I posted a tutorial last year on how to do the Celica seat swap. It's a lot of work, but worth it. If you go that route, and have any questions, holler at me. I'm local, near Rancho.
