    Bench or Buckets?????

    Which should I put back in the Ranger?

    Bench would be easy and low key, but buckets would be fine I suppose. I have had the buckets in there before so mounting is no biggie. They are Pontiac Gran Prix seats from 89-90 or so.

    What's a Junkie to do??

    Life is short. Be a do'er and not a shoulda done'er.

    be careful the seat backs are not too thick, if you put big fat seats in a small cab you'll be sitting too far forward and it can get uncomfortable.

    Bench is nice if you have to carry an extra person....or get close to some gal....

        I say b/c it's a pickup it needs a bench.

        Where else are you supposed to sleep overnight at the drags?

        I used to call me truck "Hotel GMC".

            I agree with the bench seat. Just a simple solution to where are you going to sit when you drive ;D.

              Owning 2 S10s. Id rather drive around in my factory bench than my buckets any day. Keeps the truck look.

                Bench seating in a truck....you know it's the right thing to do.

                The power buckets in my '99 Silverado are comfy and all, but still find myself somewhat missing the wide-by-large goodness of the bench seat in my old '85 GMC.

                  With limited space in a pickup, buckets seem to create a little extra room. But that bench seat is very useful for many things also. I've slept at the Dodge hotel many times, and it sure is nice to nap on a nice fullsize bench.

                        Hear ye hear ye. Henceforth and for the time being the apparatus of posterior support shall be the bench seat. So it shall be written, so it shall be done. Amen


                        What's funny about this is, I posted the same question on another site and it was totally biased the other way. LOL

                          Sorry everybody but I've got to say buckets.
