3rd Row Seat in a 60?

[Mat60]

I was looking into this a while ago and didn't get very far...
I need to fit 2 adults and 4 kids into my '82 60
Pop rivetting car seats to the floor is not an option, (but one I have considered)
Ideas? Anyone?

it has been done many times, not sure how it's anchored but a lady around my town has the 3rd row facing back like an old volvo wagon. perfect for the kids

These are things I need to know;
1) Where do I get the donor seat?
2) How do I anchor said seat?
3) Where to mount the belts?
4) Would it be cheaper to buy an 80series?

Do a search. I think I recall seeing that someone did do this.

I don't know much about this place, but did see it online:

I've thought about getting marina seats (from Cabelas) and mounting them in the back. they look comfy. Depends on what look you are going for. But you would have to fab up some brackets for them.

Thanks Colorado. Interesting options. A little pricey though. Was thinking more along the lines of something lightly used. looking for guidance from someone who has done similar.
Does Specter sell a front bench? or maybe used 3rd row???

I bought an aftermarket third row from a trailblazer owner that had the belts attached to the seat frame. I put in two pieces of steel with nuts welded to them from under the floorboards so that I could easily bolt and unbolt the seat from the back of the car. I also put in 4 holes/nuts per side so that I could face it forwards or backwards depending on the whim of the kids.

I could get pictures later if you're interested.

My seat

I didn't get under the truck, but that part is 2 pieces of flat steel with 4 holes and nuts welded over them bolted to the floorboard. The first picture shows the seat bracket sticking out the back, the second is the 4 "bolts" that I use to hold the seat in filling the holes on just one side - the other side has threaded holes in the same places. I just use two of the holes at a time - this allows the seat to sit back to back with the back seat for facing backwards and close to the tailgate for facing forwards. You have to have to seperate sets of holes or there is not enough leg room for the back passengers when you tunr it around.

The kids don't sit facing backwards that often, but it is great to be able to turn it around since it allows me to leave the seat in and load stuff in the back more easily with it facing backwards. Work interefered with my picture taking, so I'll have to get some pics with the seat in it tonight.
