I'm on the search for a split back bench seat. I currently have a solid bench that wont fold down. I want a bench that will fold down at a minimum. Perferably one with a split back rest that folds down.
Looking for suggestions on possible donor vehicles that would have a seat like this or ways to modify the current one I have.
I have never seen a split rear bench for a Waggy/Cherokee. Is your current one just jammed? The mechanism for folding down is very simple.
As for a seat from another vehicle, I am not sure what would fit. Waggys are much narrower than most other SUVs. And most SUVs that have split rear seats also have the fold flat functionality, which the waggy floor would have to be modified for.
I'm looking for one for a J10.
Mine is deffinetly a solid frame that dose not fold.
Modifying a seat frame to make it narrower wouldn't be that much of a problem. Just trying to find one with the split rear fold down function.
Oh, yeah. When I hear "split rear' I think of a rear seat where half of it can fold down while the other half stays up.
If you are talking about just a normal bench seat that folds down, thats very common. I actually have not seen a J-Truck seat that doesn't fold forward. Even the 60's ones I have seen had folding seats.
I worked at AMC for many years and NEVER saw a split back front seat for a J10 or 20!!! Not that there never was, but I NEVER saw one or knew of one! All bench seats folded forward to access behind the seat and get to the jack and wheel wrench!!

Sorry for the confusion. Yes I am looking for a bench seat that has the back rest split and both pieces will fold down independently.
Not sure the seat that is in mine is stock. It may have been from one of those C10s with the gas tank behind the seat. Maybie why it dosn't fold down.
Anyway, yeah, looking for any seats with a split backrest that will fit right in or could be modified to fit in a 74 J10
I know some late '80s-early '90s Chevy trucks had split back bench seats. Might be a little wide but wouldn't be hard to measure.
