Jim
Thanks for the idea of using Volvo seats. I have several of them around,
didn't think about trying them.
I have several IH's around here, but even more Volvos,nearly all 240 series.

  Larry, you may find that the best route is to have your current bench
  reupholstered. You'd be amazed how comfortable the stock seat is with a
good
  rebuild using modern foam. I'd ask for the stiffest foam, and have them add
  about an inch of foam height unless you'd have steering wheel clearance
  issues.

  You can adapt buckets from just about anything if you've a mind to, just
  look for seats that mount flat to the floor. I have a couple of Volvo seats
  that fit the bill. You would still need to get them up in the air some
more,
  either by mounting them to the stock IH bucket bases or something else.

  There are quite a few aftermarket bench or bucket combos, the JCW truck
  flyer I just got has some new ones from Smitty even. Problem is most of
them
  are pushing $1 large....
