    Have a 87 Yota and like I've said it was in a field for about a year. Only paid 300 for it so I couldn't pass it up. Anyway the bench seat is shyt and I'm looking on replacing it. I would like to know whats my options and where is the best places to look. If I can get another bench seat with alot more cushion that would be good. I would also like to look into bucket seats if they will fit. So guys I would like any help thats available thanks

    If you dont mind a little fab work the front bucket seats out of a 1995-2001 Geo Metro are pretty comfortable.

    well nothing against your bench V8 but I don't really like how they sit down. I'm sure yours are in way better condition than mine. Its torn on the driver side where you put your arse and where you put your back.

    Hey ShoNuff do you find the Celica seats sit you a little low?? I have 82 Supra buckets in mine and i think i might raise then up a inch or so.

    Does anyone know if the bench seat out of the 95-04 style Tacoma will bolt in place of the older gen 2 truck benches? I know the gen 3 89-95 Pickup benches fit in place of the gen 2's

    Tacoma seats won't bolt up with existing holes in the pre-taco trucks.
    But, with a little drilling you can make your own holes and bolt them in.
