The holes for the middle seat are already there. Once you remove the console, and check around you will see them. IIRC, you might have to tap them a little bit, but they should be there. There is also a chance that you will have to put holes in the carpet for the bolts of the middle seat to pass through.

Yes sir. I have had my 60/40 out a number of times. Once, I pulled the carpet because I wanted it to be extracted and really cleaned up and it wasnt too bad. Mine is an ext. cab and it was still easy even with a back seat. I am suprised you want a bench seat. Most everyone I know wants buckets. I love having a bench seat, and I love my lightning bench.

Yeah i notice everyone wants to have buckets but mine is only a reg cab so i wouldnt mind being able to carry one more person....and so the girl can slide a little closer to me...the bucket is nice but i dont think that 60 would be much different for someone anyway

You'll have to pull the rubber plugs out and tap the two holes in the pic below ...

Dude you're in the wrong section- this is for 1997-2003. Your 1995 is a totally different body style.
