I cannot remember ever seeing a bench seat in a 5.

Yeah CJ5 and 6 had bench seats with the Tuxedo Park package and it probly was an option but you can bet they are rare as chicken teeth. I watch Ebay pretty close for stuff I want and over 3 years I bet I aint seen 3 or 4 bench seats for sale. If yer dead set on it, get the basic measurements and head to the junk yard and look. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

i really like the way front bech seats look but i want an older one that at least looks close to stock

Here is one place ya might check. I ran a seach and it came up with an article from Hemming's Motor News, a resto mag with this guys name and number. When I checked the website, there wasnt anything listed but he might have something or at least maybe know where to get it. The guy's name is Morris Ratner and he is known as the "Jeepsterman" Call him at 732-458-3966 238 Ramtown-Greenville Road in Howell Township, New Jersey, off U.S. Route 9. Be prepared, a complete seat for a truck is $600. The Jeepsterman <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />

Theres one option you might try, measure the rear bench seat out of a early full size blazer/jimmy. My friend used one to replace the bench seat in his 54 willys truck and it fit perfectly.

Further developing Greens idea, get two old CJ rear folding seats and fab the 60/40 back out of the 4 up rights and latches. Cut both the bottoms to form one. You may need to add in a couple of inches the bottom or the back to make it comfotable but you should have everything you need. Then take it to the upholstery shop. The only thing left would be to fab the bases. Dunno, might happen quicker and be cheaper than trying to find one to buy somewhere. Good luck with it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
