Sliding rear seat in a crew cab?

I would like a sliding rear seat in my crew cab?

Has anyone done this?

What is the easiest way to get a few more inches behind that rear seat?

Thanks in advance!

you could try and mount the slider from a front seat not sure how much that would give you but I don't think you would have to redrill any holes

Front bench brackets from a reg cab will go right in. Factory bucket pedestals will also go in but you will have to drill the holes.

Trooperthorn is right. The back seat in my crew is the old front seat out of my ext cab.

The problems I ran into with putting the front seat in the rear was the room on the passenger side. I took mine out of my 93 extra cab. The seat has a bunch of room (14"or so") between the side of the seat and the door. Also the seat sits higher and doesn't fit under the "lip" where the body bends back under the rear window. It all works ok, but I'll be swithing it out as soon as I come across something that will match my fronts.
I suppose it could be all done up nice and it could work out well, but as bad as my seat is I don't see the point in it. For the time being it just gives a place for the guns or bow to ride.
Good luck
Justin

I ran the front seat in the back of my cc for over ten years. It fit like it was made for it. If you study the rear floor of the crew it is actually the floor of the standard cab. The stretch is in the flat under the front seats. The rear walls are identical on all the cabs, right.

Yes. It is the same as if you were to take a standard cab and slice it door to door at about one inch in front of where the floor panel kicks upward where the seat mounts.

I was thinking of puting two sets of front row seats out of a 98.5-02 QC in mine but figured I wouldn't have the room. I setteled on 05 QC front and rear seats and am now thinking I would have had plenty of room. I'm in the process of mounting my seats right now and the distance from the back of the front seat to the front of the back seat looks pretty similar to my Megacab. I know it's a lot more than my 03 QC had.

Front seats out of Chrysler mini vans work very well. (for the front of a crew)

Yep. That is what I had in front.

The front seat is not what I am concerned with right now.

I just want to get some more room behind that back seat with a slider
