Nabbed a pair of Honda Civic seats this morning at the local Pull-a-Part. ($22.50 each in 90-percent or better shape; no tears, very clean, just a couple of ingress-egress shiny spot.) I was measuring everything in the import section to find the best fit according to my tape measure. These mid- to late- 1990s seats fit within 3/16ths in width and length. Had to do a little round-file work on the holes, and angle grind the lip of the truck seat mounting truss to make room for the front end of the new seat's adjustment rail. Got the driver's side one mounted in time to drive to work for an afternoon-evening shift. The passenger side one will go on much quicker. Wow, what an improvement over the ol' '88 bench seat. These seats are about an inch taller, but I've still got about 2 inches of headroom for my ridiculously tall trunk. The driving position is much, much improved. If you're game I can post some photos later when the install is complete.

Nice I put a pair of sweet buckets from a 90's Mitsubshi sports car in my 80 something p/u w/no problems. Think I spent $40 at the PnP. Way better than the bench.

Will shoot some photos this weekend before I install the passenger side, and after both are done. I did have to shim the inside brackets up about three washers worth to get the driver's side seat perfectly square to the floor.

I used a set out of 8? Toyota Celica, but had to make mounts fot them to lift them up higher.
You could even do a write up on it too and send it to Mike. Or you could send it to me and I can put yours and mine together. I've been mean to finish mine up, but just haven't got to it (along with a few other).

Sure. I'll shoot before, during and after pics. I think the seats came for a '95-ish 4-door, whatever gen that is ...
