I have actually been considering this for some time but it appears to me that your head room is not adequate to do this. I would like to see it if you get it done because i have an extra set of seats specifically for this.

I dont think you can unless you ripped out the little cubby area underneath and somehow made brackets to make it work. then again the leg room would be down to nothing since they bottom seat portion length is longer then the bench too. Food for thought...

from what it looks like you wouldnt have enough head room because the seats are to tall.You would have to cut the floor pan and recess the floor and weld in some to braces


More trouble than its worth in my opinion

i agree with tanker blade. there is a bar the runs across to floor if you took the out you could than cut into the elevated cargo area to move the seats and than re box the floors leaving you with good head and leg room but that goes back to what your abilities are
