Just nabbed a pair of 95 Pathy buckets for $75. Grey cloth and in decent shape.



Now I just need to find a 2wd King Cab with a gray center console.

That's a nice improvement over the crap bench seats in the reg cabs, but get used to a very upright seating postion unless you're a short guy, as there's no room to recline.

I have read that. I'm 6ft. I'll have to try them out. I find I do like sitting in a more upright position though, it gives me better control overall.

I hear that. My bench isn't even OEM, it's freakin' vinyl! It smells funny and it's sticky when the temps are up there.

They weren't hard to mount. The P-finder and the Hardbody shared the same dash for a short while.

I'm sure it's super easy... bench seat comes out with four bolts, new ones go in with 8. The four center bolts (2 per seat) are already in the body of the truck plugging the threaded holes. It's a pretty simple bolt out, bolt in process.

Not sure on the center console (buy one out of a hardbody extended cab) but I think it just bolts in too.

I haven't done this yet, but I spent the better part of a day tracking down phantom seats found on http://www.car-part.com at junkyards that can't seem to keep their inventory updated.

FYI the seats you want are out of the Pathfinder up to 95, even though the D21 truck made it to '97. Found out the hard way that 2001 QX4 seats don't fit. Shame too... they were black leather and mint

Good luck!

Heath

I'm really glad to find this thread, I've been wanting to do the same thing with my '91, that's actually how I found this forum, via google searching just this.

On a slightly-related note, will the door panels and the steering wheel from a Pathfinder go directly into an early Hardbody? My door panels are kind of gross, and I hate the stock steering wheel. I'm also considering doing the dash swap.

Welcome to NICO. Most 94-95 parts were the same as the Hardbody so things will swap no problem.. Also some parts from 98-00 Frontiers will swap too. I think the console cal also be found in the 97 KC HB as well.

I went this morning to look at some Pathfinder seats but they were rough. If I can find some like new grey seats I will grab them. If not, I'll be happy with my bench.

Newby here. I have a 95 xtracab 4x4. I already have the Pathfinder seats but I was wondering where you got the console from....I'd LOVE to have on of those. Mine is too short for my arm and worse than that, I don't have cup holders.

The console is out of a 98 Frontier but I have seen them in 97 HB King Cabs as well.

Two of the front bolts are hidden under the carpet but if you lift the carpet a lil' you can see them. The back holes are 'pre-plugged' with the bolts since the KC and the Reg cab share the same floor.
