I was browsing the local truck wrecking yard and came across a dentside crew cab with a bucket/bench conversion in it. It was an aftermarket rail kit with bucket seats and center console on the dentside. The center console folds up for a third seat and the seat bottom of the third seat folds up for storage under the seat. I scored it for $50 from the yard. Took it home and of course the floor brackets wouldn't fit my '68. I used an angle grinder to get the heads off the rivets holding the brackets on the old POS stock custom cab bench seat and then mounted the brackets on the conversion kit rails. Then the rails, buckets and center console bolted right in. Here's a pic:

Not bad for $50 huh? The upholstery is in pretty good shape, except for a tear/rip in the center console by the drivers right arm. The conversion kit is from a company called 'Atwood Mobile Products'. It had a date on it of 2001. They don't seem to make the kits anymore or at least I couldn't find any information on them. Has anyone seen a conversion kit like that before?
Great find at a great price!
