Someday (soon, I hope), when I have time and space, I want to go the other way, to a bench seat frame. So, thanks for the other write up as well. Since I plan to make it just a parcel shelf or possibly a locking box to make it a "trunk", I won't have to drill and weld the extra holes or seatbelts.

You will indeed have not issue going the other way, especially with not needing the seatbelts for cargo mode. When you are ready, I have an extra lower bench frame, if you are interested.

That'd be good. I am looking for a new house with a large backyard that would allow me to work on projects. I live in an association so I cant do anything; I am not even supposed to do oil changes in the driveway (but I do anyway; I am a rebel )...

Wow, and I was worried about drilling two lousy holes! Who would have thought there would be such a huge difference in the two options...
