SOLD ---- Bucket Seats with modded 720 rails

Figured since I had time tonight I'd add another ad...

These are a pair of 1989 Toyota Camry seats that I made a bracket to allow them to bolt onto factory 1985 720 Kingcab bucket seat rails. They work fine in both comfort and general function, but have a few flaws other people may fine too annoying to deal with for daily use.

First the pics:

The adapter brackets

Brackets done and in paint. These bolt to both the seat and the rails. Yes that is rebar used as a permanent spacer, sometimes you use what's on hand rather than run into town, for the 6th time

Image

And the actual seats

Couple flaws

And now for the annoyances...

1. The fact that they are blue could be an annoyance for some just on its own. My interior is blue, so I went with blue buckets.

2. They aren't for tall people. I'm 5-11 and I fit comfortably with the height but admittedly I would have preferred them to sit a touch lower.

3. Because the original purchaser of the seats, me, didn't really think things through when he found a nice condition set of blue, comfortable bucket seats at a decent price, said purchaser didn't take the time to register in his brain that Camrys have four doors. So needless to say, it's a real PITA to access the Kingcab with the seats in. One must completely lean into the cab and remove the wanted items from inbetween the seats. No quick folding forward of the seats due to the turn knob style adjustment. What can I say, I took comfort over function on this one for sure.


Before I pulled the engine out of the truck, I had no real deal breaking issues with them. I found them to be very comfortable and would have DD the truck with them in it.

I'm not looking to make a profit on these due to the flaws and the narrow market for what they fit in, so I'm only asking $40 firm for the pair. This obviously includes the OEM rails as well. Depending on the distance and my schedule, a meet up could be set up. And once again, so you can gauge the travel needed to come pick this up, I live in Bow, WA 98232. I'm about 5 minutes Northwest of Burlington, WA, using just the zip puts you a lot farther North than I am. Also, I'm pretty much a straight 2 mile shot west of exit 232 off of I-5, not too hard to find. And I might be a bit late on replies due to my Mom's recent surgery.

Your stuff is nice and your prices are more than fair. You just live really far away and I have no need for your items. Otherwise, I'd be right over :D .

And again, nicely done ads. Free bump.

Thanks for the compliments :)

And I totally understand that living in almost Canada makes for a long drive for most people. It usually ends up that I deeply discount my prices just to get stuff sold lol.

I would have already bought these for a coworkers 720 KC (perfect color, in good condition, well thought out, great price-hell down here pull-a-parts seats are $75 a pair); but the logistics of getting them down here from you are not practical nor feasable.

I hope they're snatched up soon, for your sake.
