I need new front seats. The ones I have are well-loved (and mostly didn't melt in the barn fire...), and it is time for a change.

I have read threads about seat swaps- and there are plenty! However, I ran into a different idea. I found this post: https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f115.../#post51587938. These are rear seats from a Geo Tracker / Suzuki Sidekick. They fold flat. There are some other pics in this craigslist posting: http://fresno.craigslist.org/wan/2078740520.html

Im entertaining the thought of replacing my front seats with these, so that entry and exit to the rear seats would be easier, and so that I would have more "counter space" available and accessible from the rear when in camping mode.

Does anyone know of any other vehicles that had seats in this configuration (fold flat + fold forward + split bench / bucket)?

I'm not opposed to bracket modification, so mounting hole location doesn't worry me. I'm hoping that there is something more common than the "TracKick", that I might be able to find on CL or the local yard.

Thanks! Repayment will be in the form of a detailed writeup with pics when I find something that will work.

I would think that those would be good at a back seat but is the headrest really going to be practical in a front seat application? Seems like it would be too much like a low back...JMO

 

Yeah, you might be right about that. I'd love to get the measurements of the seat and compare it to the front seats. I could live with a little smaller, but not too much.

Still, that is just the tracker/sidekick seat. What else has a similar option?

 

Hate to say it, but the make starts with a "J", and the model starts with a "W", or a "C", the front passenger seats had the fold and tumble option to them to access the rear seat (fold and tumble bench for the "W", or removable bench for the "C"). The drivers were usually just on short sliders if anything, if the rememberer is still working.
