    Hello!

    I'm thinking there's no value in the bench. If anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.

    Thanks!

    Not interested in your bench seat, but would like to hear about the swap, and any issues you might share! Was there a thread on your work here? I have a base 2Whl Regular Cab with the bench. What truck did you do the swap in? I started a thread here on the topic yesterday……

    If I understand your question, I switched the bench seat from the 2005 to a set of bucket seats for the same (and subsequent years) model. The toughest part was the seat belts and the bolts at the bottom. Called in an expert for that.

    Shipped from California. Cost almost as much as the seats themselves. Worth it.

    Grats on your new seats. I have buckets in my Gen2 Reg cab base, and they are grand. I'm looking for some leather ones that will fit a 2012.

    THANKS. Mine is a 2009, so the air bag issue is my biggest concern.

    That's a big concern!
