    My 60/40 bench seats are tan and they're in pretty good shape no tears in them but I do smoke in my truck.

    I don't think they'll work because of the mounts but thanks for the idea.

    Not only that, but with that seat lower angle, I'd feel like I was squatting to poop or something. That looks super uncomfortable to me.

    Not sure that would help. The angle of the seat bottom to the floor looks to be in the 15-20° range. At the height that seat is sitting, I need my seat to be about half that to be comfortable. At the angle shown, I feel like I may as well be using one of these - dunno if you've ever had to use one, they're effective, but far from fun, and not something I'd want to be on top of for more than a mile or two.

    I'm interested in bench seats. I have buckets from a 2004. Are they swappable?

    I have the bench seats and I think they're swappable because I think its the same mounting If you'd like to trade I'm open like I said above I do smoke inside my truck but I think the smoke smell can come out. But If you have the tan bucket seats I'd love to trade and get the center console as well.

    Unfortunate, it would be a perfect trade. My truck has been smoked in as well, and are tan with center console. If you ever make it here let me know.
