Default Rear bench to shop bench conversion.

Just wanted to throw these pictures up if what I got into yesterday. I had these rear seats out of my parts truck just taking up room in my garage so I decided to turn them into a bench. Probably spent about an hour on it and it came out really well.

That's cool. Under which seat did you place the airbag?

All 3, and activated by one of the red seatbelt release buttons, but which one is the real question.

Great work bro. I would like to see the front seat facing them and the steering wheel to hold a glass table top in the middle.

Thy would be a great plan if I hadn't already put the front seats in my Silverado. The factory Silverado seats hurt my back after about 30 minutes and I knew that Disco seats didn't. Steering wheel was pretty trashed, too. I do still, however, have the engine block out of it. It was too trashed to rebuild, but will make a beautiful glass top table.

Maybe use some old rover struts to hang those hats on

Haha, not a bad idea. I really need to get them all out of my truck. Sh*t, I need to get pretty much everything out of my truck. It's a mess right now.

Maybe we can turn your truck mess into a fun forum game such as "I Spy"

You seem somewhat of a seat expert. Any idea why my driver seat is rocking back a little bit.
