My 95' has the 60/40 front seat and like most, my driver's side (the "60" portion) is toast but my passenger bucket seat is like new. I was wondering if I were to get the driver's bucket seat and console out of a SR5 T100 if that would work. I found a seat that is the OEM fabric and color of mine in good shape, just needs a good cleaning. I haven't looked for the console yet. My passenger seat is 21.5" wide at the widest point top and bottom ( top half is maybe .75" narrower). Would someone with buckets seats measure the driver' side and see if my idea is worth the effort. Never use the fold down armrest and since it's a manual transmission I haven't had anyone volunteer to sit in the middle while I shift

TIA

Interesting idea. We can call it the 40/40?

 

[sdspeed]

Yup! Figure the center seating area is the other 20%

The math sounds good. Im looking at a parts car tmrw, Ill see what seats it has

The issue I've run across is that even a single bucket seat is both bulky and sorta heavy so finding a good one that a yard will ship reasonably is tough. So I've been concentrating on salvage and private owners within about 100 miles of me. Consoles don't seem to be as tough to get.

Well, after doing more digging it looks like the best option would be to find a pair of bucket seats and the console from a T100 that came that way
Or pay my upholstery guy $650 to do the front 60/40 completely with a fabric that's a close match to the perfect rear seats, or go ahead and have them all done at once!
I'm so confused.

Give the first gen Tundra seats a visit. I remember another member swapped in a set into his T-100.

I recall that thread! Will look and see what is out there. When I first considered buckets I took measurements off my neighbors 1st Gen. Tundra, they sit higher and are a bit wider.
But anything can be made to fit with a bigger hammer.
Really wanted to just find a front seat, even a 60/40 in the OEM Gray so it would match properly with the back seat. Even if I have to buy both sides and just install the driver's side for now.

The chances of finding a 97/98 bucket seat these days without breaking the bank will be pretty rare. First gen Tundra bucket seats are more readily available.

You been lookin' in my T100 again ? . I have the same situation and have been -sorta- looking for a solution too. I would rather keep the stock gray 60/40 but the sides that I had reupholstered in a "sorta-similar" color which looks ---fine(but not really) . Besides it tore loose at a seam and I'm not to happy with the guy that did the work. So was hoping to find a "good" seat cover to replace mine or to use as replacement material to redo the sides back to stock. All this means I'm gonna be watchin how you get this solved and then maybe I can copy uh -that is---learn from your example (that sounds better) Well time to change the lens fluid in the tail lights ?‍♂

Giving www.car-part.com a quick peruse, it shows about 4 vehicles that have the grey cloth bucket seats with the console up in Rancho-Cordova. No price listed so yer gonna need to call them to find out.

I'm so glad you mentioned your seats condition, now I won't have to cruise the cold winter night streets with a car trailer in tow looking for your truck to use as a donor vehicle. But then again, now that you've changed the tail-light lens fluid and might do the muffler bearing next. So many decisions. ?

 

[PreHistoricTundra]

So, true, So true. but before the muffler bearings I want to recheck the ambient temperature in the Schrader valves been some changes lately between day time and night time.?
?‍♂ many thanks Bam for the good lead, will be looking them up again.

Best of luck with that, try nitrogen, did the trick for me. ?
If you make that 1,600 mile RT for those seats grab me a set.

First gen tundra seats in a T100

Might call the owner and ask him some questions. 1997 Toyota T100 4x4 with brand new engine

 

[sdspeed]

Good Catch!
Only problem is my shifter would hit that seat since I have the 5 speed.
Found a clean one ( with the shifter cut-out) locally but the price is only about $150 less than having mine completely re-vamped.
Looks good from what he shows ! ?

 

[49cadde]

He's 35 miles from me so will text/call him now and see if he's the one that installed the seat and if so what he paid for it and what mods he made ? I'll be back.

 

[49cadde]

Here's his reply:
The previous owner installed the seat. From what I can tell it is bolted straight into the stock mounting holes but a couple of them don't line up. Everything on the seat still works, it moves forward and back and reclines. No mods were done to the seat itself. I'm assuming the previous owner got the seat from a pick-n-pull and bolted it in.

Good to know, Thanks!
