While I LOVE a bench seat I like bucket seats too.
I'm a bench seat guy, myself, especially in a truck. Just seems right to me. Now if it was a half-ton shortbox, then maybe I'd feel differently.

Hey now, that fells like a jab.

Huh? Ya lost me on that one, brother (which in and of itself should indicate that it wasn't a jab at anyone). My Ramcharger had buckets in it, and I did like 'em in that style of rig. Liked the large console that was between 'em, too.
Same style as mine:

I seem to remember a really nice bench seat that had a fold down center too. They were a bench seat that was as comfortable as most bucket seats I've sat in. My complaint with older bench seats are that they weren't really comfortable on longer trips. My 64 Chevy I had as a teenager had bucket seats I'd taken out of something I can't remember now. I put the stock bench seat in the bed of the truck and used it for drivein movies. I'd back into the parking spot and put a speaker on either side of the bed.
I know it wasn't mean spirited in any way. I was just making a passive comment that I have bucket seats in my truck, and they're heated too.
Also, it's a 1500 short bed.I think that really comes down to how the seat was built, and for what purpose. The bench seat in my '65 New Yorker is padded but firm and has a folding center armrest. That seat feels similar to a modern car seat in something like a Caddy. My Chevies don't have that arm rest and aren't as soft, but still much better than all the utilitarian bench seats in work trucks and vans that I’ve ridden in over the years.

Never even crossed my mind. However, now that you've mentioned it...
I was referring to more of the bench seats that used to come in the 50's & 60's trucks I grew up driving as teenager. We won't even talk about some of the bench seats in military rigs...
And yes the bench seats in cars or that same era were a lot nicer than what you got in a truck. I can recall some 70's trucks with nicer bench seats also but then some were not as nice.
That looks really nice.
Permision to bitch a little...
For the fourth time in 3 years, someone has gotten into one of our cars. This time it was the wife's 2015 CR-V. It appears that she made the mistake of leaving it unlocked (which she hardly ever does). The incident was so fresh that there was still the wet boot print on the rubber floor mat from where they sat in the passenger's seat. Stole her work jacket and some change, but that's about it. Fuckers.
Also, while driving the 1-ton home after purchasing it, I stopped in at a large truck stop to fuel-up. While there, some guy pulls up in a relatively new Chevy Tahoe, and starts speaking to me in some seriously broken English, pointing to his gas gauge (which was almost on "E"), and offering to sell me some huge, gaudy-ass ring for cheap. The guy said he's from Dubai (sure you are), and he's absolutely laden with gold chains and rings. I told him "I can't do that", and walked away. Ten minutes later, another guy pulls up to me and starts a similar spiel, also flashing all kinds of gold. As soon as I said I wasn't buying any damn jewelry, he drove off. WTF? Don't know if they were a tag team, or in competition with one another, but they pissed me off. Fuckers.
Put the 1-ton in my name today. Even with a, shall we say, "adjusted purchase price", tax and license on a 35 year old truck was almost $1,100. Fuckers.
I'm done now. Sorry for the derailment. Carry on.

I'm sure the "gold" being sold was legit and worth $2,000 an ounce. Definitely not plated or "fools gold".
How does your state value and tax the vehicle? Mine used to go by stated sale price, but I think we abused that a little too often, as they go by NADA "average" value now, which is horseshit.
