I’m close. My dad found a way to anchor car seats in the bed of his Chevy Silverado (w camper shell) and we’d sit back there for rides halfway across the country.

My grandparents had a truck with a toolbox across the back. My sis & I rode 8 hrs to their house in the open bed of the truck, ducking our heads under the toolbox when we needed a break from the incessant wind. Waved to all the truckers and got a lot of them to blow their horns, too. Good times!

I blew my kid’s mind by mentioning the car that had bench seats in the front and if you were in the middle there you had to work the fussy radio.

I’m pretty sure it was 1976 before we had a car without a bench seat (a Pinto). Even the 1978 LTD we had had like a 40/60 thing that was basically a bench seat.
