Can you futon a bench seat?

[Old Blue 79 Scot]

Wondering if someone has done a flat fold bench seat like a futon so you can camp in the single cab. Other than it’s probably not safe or DOT allowed, and my twin stick shifters being in the way, I think it would be super cool if you could do that. Just brainstorming, ready to hear NO from a few people.

Never seen anyone try to do in a single cab. And i dont think it would fit.

Squarebody Syndicate did a van seat in the rear of their "Megacab" Squarebody.

That is exactly what I’m looking for, thank you! I don’t know how or if it would work but I think it would be way cool. I don’t know how to fabricate yet but I’ll be thinking about this for a long time.

There were crew cab "conversion" trucks (like a conversion van) in the 80's with a rear seat that did exactly what you are looking for.

For it to work in a single cab truck, I don't know if you could retain a fore-aft adjustmet. Not a big deal if you drive with the seat slid all the way back anyway.

Yep I have it all the way back. Whoa…something’s wrong….this is going too well. Thanks a lot for the hopes and dreams!

yeah,....if you are in a pick/ pull look at big RWD vans.
2nd or 3rd row may fold flat. typically in a conversion van,...but I have seen them OEM in a van with a plain body and no raised roof. (rare,...but I remember them in juicy G series and fancier Econoline Fords)

not sure how it would functionally fold flat inside a single cab though....where you have finite lengths,...

Keep in mind...that truck cab was stretched 3-4 inches. I think the seat was out of a Squarebody van

Again, there were conversion crew cabs in the 80's with a rear bench that would fold down into a bed like that. They were not modified cabs. They are still out there too.
