Re: Rear Seat for a Carryall
On most carryalls you need the access under the bed for doing regular maintenance, so bolting aluminum sheet down and bolting seats on top of that will make it much more of a pain to get to the engine if/when you need to work on it.
Take the sides off the bed and use the flat bed as the base for mounting a regular flip seat kit. You'll probably have to make or modify the rear seat back brackets to have a way to attach them to the bed.
Mount the foot rest to the rear bumper same way as the kit says, but make some of your own supports out of steel angle or 1" square tube that just run up to the corners of the rear body. Leave enough room for the bed to be able to hinge upwards for when you need to raise it for access underneath.
For the arm rests shorten the long side of the ones in the kit and bolt those direct to the bed.
