Jump Seat for a Deuce

[Tackettr]

Well maybe not a Jump Seat. I am looking for some type of seat to go between the two 'springers" in my Deuce. I need something for the youngsters when momma is riding with me. It would be nice if it had a console for storage under it. Anyone know of something on the civilian market that would work or has someone fabricated one and could send me a picture? Any help would be great!

RE: Jump Seat for a Duece

I had thought of this and considered chopping down a full size companion seat to fit there. I've done the dual springers a few times but with the new style cushions,
i'm back to the regular companion seat. I should also point out that my truck has a 3rd seat belt added.

The regular set up is one drive, plus two, why not just use revert back to the old system and put in a better bench seat for the passengers?

I want the springers for the older backs. The youngsters can handle the stiff ride. I might have to look at cutting down a bench seat. I also want some type of seat belt system but that should be a simple problem to fix.

This may be something you'll have to fab up yourself, unless you can possibly modify a jump seat from a junkyard Nissan or Toyota. Come to think of it, a lot of the APCs have folding jump seats for the passengers. You might look into finding someone with a set of jump seats like that. Try Austin Weber on eBay, he goes by "beltfed34".

I looked at the APC ones on Ebay, man that's a lot of engineering in those seats!!!! the price wasn't too bad but I would still have to fab some legs. I will probably fab something myself unless soneone comes up with another solution. Thanks for the help.

What about a car-style bench seat with extra springs attached to it?

How much space do you have between the seats? I have a folding jumpseat/console from an 02 Super Duty that could be made to work, if you have the room.

Something like that was what I had in mind. I'm not sure how wide it is but I would bet there is plenty room. It's a good reach from the driver to the passenger. A simple frame made out of angle then mount something like that to it and I'm set. Will check the measurements tonight when I get home. i was hoping someone had done this before and I wasn't blazing a new trail. Oh well, out front, un-armed, and un-afraid! SCOUTS OUT!

biggest thing with putting a seat there, just make sure it doesnt interfere with the tcase shifter, and that the kids will be back far enough that the shifter doesnt hit there legs.

Post pics of what you come up with, i currently have the old style bench, but would like to swap it out and also have the need to keep three seats.

Okay what about the jump seats in the older ford extended cab trucks they fold up on each side they should work in nicely between your springers
