Wanted FJ45LV Rear Seat

Year

1965

I recently picked up a 1965 FJ45LV. I’m starting to make a list of parts that will be needed. But first up is the rear seat and hardware. I realize the rear seat can be difficult to locate so I appreciate any help or advice.
Thanks!

My LV is lacking the rear bench as well, which is a unicorn part I guess, so, I decided that a SCOUT ll rear bench was a close compromise. It fits in between the wheel wells, functions the same as the lv, bottom cushion is almost identical, but, the back cushion needs some altering. I increased the back frame to match the lv back height--24". I had one on loan to take measurements. It's currently at the upholstery shop. The scout bottom has a metal cover to add the folding forward hinges. With some other tweeking it can work.

Just an option for now. Has anyone found another seat option?
