Unanswered Bucket seat Q's

im new to yota tech and long before i joined ive been keeping up with whats been going on here iv got no pic's as of yet but will add some soon my question is that iv visted about ALL the bucket seat swap threads i can find and still havent found a decent answer. That question is what seats out of different vehicles will fit my 2nd gen 87' yota reg cab, i know 4runner seats and sr5 seats are supposed to mount up easily enough but have also heard of people using carolla celica supre and other manufacture's seats does asnyone have a base knowledge of what kind of seats i can swap that uncomfortable ass bench out for, Thanks Nate

Not trying to sound short but with a drill and tape measure you can mount almost any seat you want. I've OBX race buckets and now Acura Integra. Both required drilling 3 holes for the obx plus modifying honda rails. One drilled hole for the Integra seats.

You can swap in anything you like with some fabrication. I was considering Hyundai Santa Fe seats but decided to do it the easier way and swap seats from an sr5 truck.

I liked the OBX cause they were low and very tight seemed to really hold you in place but lots of my buddies complained that they were too hard, had to start packing Midol....LOL Dang seats started falling apart.

The Integra sit higher, are softer, and nicer over all.

Just be careful which seats you pick, some sit higher than others and your head will be in the roof.
