re: Bucket or Bench
it all depends on what you want. my 68 f250 has a bench so my wife and kid can ride and my 70 swb is gonna have buckets. it's gonna be a mover so i doubt my daughter will ride in it until she gets a little bit bigger.

"Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dusting crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?"
(I think I've watched that movie one too many times )

re: Bucket or Bench
I'm gonna do buckets with the console like Tony said.
I really need someplace to set my coffee! Other than my lap...
Hopefully have the slide-in camper like the Kapn for "getting close to my honey".

That's the style I wanted when i was looking but I came up with a brand new bench w/split back that I couldn't pass up.... So that's what it got. I do like the 40/20/40 in my 97 though.....not sure if it mounts the same as a regular bench. The 97 bench was a bolt in deal swapping the sliders from my 69 onto it.
