    Hmmmm. I guess he wasn’t a city kid. I did use a milk crate for a while at one point, but it was in my beach truck while I was replacing the floor boards.

    It's notsobad....I have done that! Only my lawn chair was the poly-webbed aluminum frame version.
    If you strap the chair to the gas-tank edges (which is behind the seat), it's pretty comfy! You could still buckle-up.


    One pair of vise-grips was tossed around to open doors and roll windows up and down.
    Passengers sat on the tool-box for a while.
    Until I found a seat! Was fine!

    Back in the day when I rode a 73 Bonnie as my main transport the car was relegated to really wet days to take my mates to the pub.
    Problem was the wipers would stick in the open position so I'd hook my lock up chain to them & the guy in the passenger seat had to pull them back to reset them each time.... till I bought a new wiper motor ... eventually...

    HAR! Saw some Mexican fellows on the freeway in an old Dodge van.
    A clothesline was tied to a wiper arm and over, through the window, and across the dash.
    Out the other window, around and to the OTHER wiper arm! Naturally, the windows needed to be lowered a bit.....
    The guy on the passenger side was holding onto the line and swinging back and forth.
    Seemed to work fine!

    I used to hold the driver's door shut on my 49 Ford truck with a bungee cord tied from the door handle over to the opposite door.

    Does that also qualify as a seat belt?

    I suppose if I looped it through one of the exposed seat springs that always jabbed me in the a$$.
