FSJ Seat Compatibility.

[TrickyDick]

Hi all!

Apparently the 1972 Jeep J2000 I’m looking to acquire does not include a seat. There’s a bench seat from a J10 available in my area (no year provided). Any idea if this seat would be compatible based on this limited data? Thanks in advance.

V/R,

It will fit. The bench seats were virtually unchanged over the years. The holes for the mounting may be different, but I doubt it.

The floor mounts did change for 81+ trucks as the floor shape changed.

Nice Seat.

The bench seat mount by outside 4 legs/fixtures, what changed was the transmission tunnel, so any bench should fit as there are no central point of anchor.

Hard to tell on this pict, but no central anchor points

and looking at your picture, it seems to be a rear bench! by the mechanism on the right side of the bench... someone can chime in... nope the rear bench would be lower on the ground.

Yes, the rear SJ seat will have large clearance on each side for the wheel house, very different than the front seat.

I collect springs from the passenger side of seat frames before I scrap them. Seat springs are notorious for breaking, especially on vehicles with high miles. When building a bench seat I replace the driver side springs with ones from the passenger side.
