"Troop" seats

[TxEddie1111]

Has anyone heard of installing "troop" seats in the bed of the HJ45?

I'd like to to carry people when I off-road (I'll use this truck to travel, slowly, high into the mountains in Colorado to a camp-sight then spend several nights and drive back- we are a family of 5, usually with 3 additional people!!).
I want to do this with minimal mod to the bed as it is in very original condition and I don't want to destroy this fact.

I'd like the kind that go along each inside and over the wheel well of the bed.

I know I can have them fabricated but if something was already available....


(I am not a welder...but I AM a corrosion specialist with a shop that applies specialty corrosion paints)

Ideas?

Cheers!
Eddie

I have a complete set, excellent condition, from a late model FJ43.
They are 50-inch long, no dents or rust in metal backs and bottoms, no splits in vinyl, fold easily.
I believe these are same size as Troopy.
Let me know.
