front seats in a 83 FJ40

[landtank]

I need to do something with the seats in the 40. The driver seat doesn't move and there is some sort of bracket on it while the other seat isn't even bolted down.

Now this truck has the tank under the floor so the seat mounts are different than older models.

I'm wondering if any knows if the seats out of a 60 will bolt down to the floor?

There is a 60 being stripped up in Maine and if it was an easy install I'd grab them.

I think the seats may be the same but use different tracks. That said, let me know if you'd like to sell the FJ40 seats.

whether or not the 60 seats fit I'll likely sell the ones I have. These originally came from Jason so he would know best what they are. I'm 40 illiterate.

just looked. They seem for the older style tub to me.

Definitely not. They are the factory reclining seats. Those were not offered until 1979, when the fuel tank was moved underneath the vehicle.

what I saw was bench seats. If you have more than one sale thread then maybe a link would help me out.

Is that price correct?

 

[Splangy]

They're not cheap but they're also incredibly hard to find. There just aren't as many floating around as the earlier models.

If you want to pay for them now and wait til Feb to get them, I might be able to get them MUDshipped to VA.

right now I'm going to hold off as I can get them cheaper from Cruiserparts.net and they are within driving distance from me.

I'll let you know after I see what James has and the quality of them.

I had all but given up on James and got an email yesterday that he had a pair.

Picking them up tomorrow hopefully.

picked up the seats yesterday. The mechanisms need some work and there is some tares in the material. Pretty much what I expected.

They actually are for a RHD truck. Which is good since I've decided to ditch the conversion anyway.
