Rear cage with passenger seats in the bed of truck ideas?
I am looking for ideas on a passenger cage for the rear of an 85 truck. For the kids to go rock crawling with me. Can be with or without the actual factory bed. I dont mind doing all tube and some aluminum panels.

Install a good rollbar and find a set of seats from a Subaru Brat; the ones with the handle grips on. Install a set of seat belts and the kids are ready to go-safely. I had that setup in my truck when I took them cruisin on Datona Beach.

Could mimic a 4xi 4runner cage, then just bolt seats down. make sure they have seat belts too.

Make sure you tie the cage to the frame also.

Also old school bus seats are a good choice. Seat belts are built in and the lower frame can easily be modified to whatever height you desire. I picked six up from a school auction for $20. I guess I was the only one there with an imagination.lol

i did this on a 69 f-250 i had. i took the bench seat out and bolted it to the front of the bed and bolted the seat belts to the frame. then i put in a old school roll bar in and went over to CHP and they actually signed it off as approved for highway use. i think i was the only one in CA that could carry people in the bed of the truck
