I want to put a 50/50 split bench in my truck.
No center arm rest or head rests.
Does anybody have a recommendation on one that would fit and look good?

I grabbed a 50/50 split bench out of a '78 F150 x-cab I had laying around and was amazed that it fit in my '55.  I took a piece of 2x2" square tubing and cut a couple pieces to mount the seats to the floor on and it sits right at the bottom edge of the back window!  The only thing that may cause a headache down the road is that the buttons to lean the seats forward may be tough to get to, since they are on the sides of the seat near the top.  I also found some sweet vinyl seat covers for them in black tuck n roll fashion and I'm pretty sure you can get new chromed plastic covers for the side.  Hope that helps.
