A 40 should have plenty of room to put a nice set of bucket seats into, its the mid 30s and earlier that is too narrow. Gene

I would think any seats out of a Dakota will fit, and I hear the center bench seat from Mini vans work well if you don't need access to the area behind the seat. Full size trucks and full size vans are pretty wide, C body cars would be too wide as well. I'd be tempted to measure some 5th Ave seats, and most of the front drive Mopars will have seats that should fit. Take a tape measure and head for a pull-a-part. Long as the windows are intact and the doors have been closed, seats usually are OK for several months lounging around in yards. Gene

one seat i found was in a base trim level ramcharger---it was a low back-- split back bench seat in fabric---it was 1 inch narrower than a stock 64 plymouth seat---so i put it in my 64 and drove it for years---it had modern/firm foam/springs and it looked like it belonged....bob
