No matter what seats you use you'll have to make up adapter mounting brackets. If you want to keep a bench have a look at late model Falcon or VSIII ute benches. These are heaps more comfortable than old HT ones.

I picked up a set of Recaro bucket seats pretty cheap from a swap meet to replace the old bench seat in my HG ute. Soooo comfortable.
If fitting them yourself be careful, as you will need a mod plate for any seat you fit that doesn't use the origina

Yeah I got these at a swap meet and I bargained the price down a bit, they are the older style seats but still have the headrests. Height wise they are a bit lower than the bench seat but still very drivable...just means it's a little awkward to rest my Edited by user Thursday, 8 March 2007 2:27:36 AM(UTC)

your cheapest option is to just find another bench seat, there are still heaps around, look on ebay for an over-priced one, swap meets/ trading post /just parts for cheapies. I gave a perfect HT bench away about 6 months ago. HKTG buckets that don't need
