Default switch to bench seat

i want to put a bench seat instead of the buckets with center console, anyone got any info on doing this? what years work good, what i should get for cheap, new or used? is it a direct swap? anyone want to trade? can i just replace console with a jump seat or something? i just want to not have another 2 seater. thanks.

I did just the opposite, I replaced my center jump seat with the full length console. It was a direct swap, only I don't have captain's chairs with the arm rests. I sold my jump seat on ebay, I see them for sale there quite often.

so would something like this be a direct fit? like it bolts right to the floor?

Yea, that's the one....like you said, as long as the seats aren't wider it will bolt right in. You have to unbolt both front seats and the jump seat goes in first, then the driver's and passenger's seats go over top of it.
