    I am still learning the site so if this is in the wrong place I apologize but I was at a jeep show today and I saw a 66 cj5 with a front bench seat, I never new they existed and now my wife wants me to find one for my cj6.

    Is this something I am ever going to find or am I better off just sticking with my buckets

    Rare but not un-obtanium. Try a wanted ad here, keep an eye on the willys tech for sale board & reach out to the used parts sellers such as Harry Sheets. It may take a while but eventually one will turn up.

    That stuff is truly hard to find.........especially when the seat frames and floor brackets are both un-molested , notwithstanding the spring seat suspension is also probably intact...........that's a deal if you really want that seat combination.

    If you really want it, you could see if the guy will hold it for you till your cashiers check gets there, I'll pick it up for you and ship it to you? It's in my town. Lemme know.

    Even though I like the bench and I probably won't easily find another one it's not in the stars for this set, just can't spend that much right now when the buckets I currently have are useable

    We've all been there and it does suck so we definitely understand.

    I mean I can weld and fab just about anything I might take a look at widening the driver side bucket and just having it re covered
