1989 toyota bench seat swap

[Shadowbiker]

I'm not able to find clear information on this. Are the 90-95 4 runner bucket seats a direct swap to a 89 toyota pickup bench seat? Do they just bolt in or is there drilling etc. involved to get them installed? If anyone has done this please let me know how it worked out and also does it give you more or less leg room in the truck?

I'm looking at buying a 89 standard cab truck and the bench seat will drive me crazy and it probably needs to be replaced anyways.

I'm not sure if the pickups come with the inner (near the tranny hump) holes for bucket seats or not. If they do, then I would bet that the bucket seats will bolt right in.

I've swapped the 90-95 SR5 buckets into early 84-88/89 trucks and 4Runners, and that involves some slight widening of the holes in the seats. Leg room remains about the same or a slight loss with this seat swap.

I just did this with my 1990 pickup. There is a hole near the tranny hump, under the carpet. Driver's side. It was not threaded. I had to do a bit of drilling, and move the seat belt bolt to the inside rear hole. Leg room is bit less because the sr5 seats came from a 4runner whose seat adjuster does not go as far back. I might swap this out one day. Passenger side bolted straight in.
