Thx Rick. Saw some vintage Brat seats on eBay. I'm thinking white Walmart fishing boat seats now... They'll kinda match the front seats , cheap & available

I found a Suzuki Samari rear bench seat fit perfect in the rear of my Oz Moke.

For my Moke, I fabricated the back seat from a school bus seat that I had lying around. I cut the backrest section down to 21 1/2" height and welded mounting brackets underneath. My front seats are the tombstone style and I found similar colored/textured vinyl material and had the rear seat sewn up with a similar front seat stitching and the layout pattern copied. Everyone has an opinion, but to me they look quite appropriate. Randy

Back seat ideas for a Moke: my initial thought to the subject title was "too small, too uncomfortable and no privacy!"
Carry on.
Carry on.

I was told that JC Witney sold a Jeep Wrangler/CJ rear seat that fitted.
