    I have a 2005 Tundra SR5 with the bucket seats. I need to add additional seating for my growing family so I want to convert the bucket seats to the bench seats. I finally found a yard selling the passenger side from a 60/40 bench on a 2006 Tundra. They aren’t selling the driver side however. Can I use my existing driver side seat and install the bench? What modifications would be required? Thanks

    I have read that the buckets are wider than the other part of the seat you want to buy and that it won’t fit if you keep the driver’s bucket You need the two parts of the 60/40 or it won’t work.

    This guy went through a TON of effort and made some good mistakes.

    Completely agree. Not the best situation but it’s the child I like the least. Ha!
