I need a '68 bench seat
 

I'm looking for a bench seat out of a '68 truck.
This will need to be nice enough to install new reproduction upholstery on.
I'm trying to keep from purchasing all new foam.
I know the '68 seat brackets are different from '69-'72 brackets,... so I'd really like to find an original '68 seat.

Let me know what you guys have out there.
Preferably close to Missouri, so I can come pick it up.
Thanks.

So guessing a '67 bench isn't what your after huh?

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I don't know,... are they the same?
Do you have any pics?
Especially the bottom side that would show the tracks.
Also,... how much?

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I Have one from a 26.000 Orig mile truck. Its perfect! I changed to buddy buckets. To bad your so far away. This seat is like new! But I am sure shipping would be to high. Sorry man.

I wish you were closer.

Rugman,...
do you have any pics of your bench seat?

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

Parting a 68 right now. The flip forward seat is in decent shape. Would you have any way to get it from northern MN?

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I have a really nice one that has solid springs and foam. I'd give it to you if you lived near me.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

All the good stuff is too far away.
Thanks guys.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I have a black leather and tweed one that I want to sell. It's reeeeeeeeally nice, but probably too far away and too much $$$.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I'm curious to see pics also and interested if the OP isn't.

Keith,

Will try to get you some pictures either today or Friday.

Then we can talk how much. Cuz I really don't have a clue what its worth.

Scott.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

OK thanks.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

Okay I hope these pics help ya.

Two under the seat trying to show the tracks and then the front.

Very dusty at the body shop. lol

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I think that must be a different seat than my 68 takes.
Mine has 4 total holes on each seat bracket (that bolt to the floor).
Not one on each end.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

That looks like a mid 70s seat and brackets.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

That's what I thought.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I found a set of buddy buckets for $500 locally.
(so no shipping)
I just haven't had a chance to look at them.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

It honestly could be!

As it was sitting in place with like only one or two bolts holding it in place when I bought the truck.

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

I will take some pictures of the 68 seat. How do I post them?

Re: I need a '68 bench seat
 

That would be great!
I may still be interested.

Look here for posting pics:

Keith, I am in the springfield area, I will look at mine and make sure it is in good shape. It has been out and in my shop for a few years. and currently has one of the seat covers on it I never removed after having it for 15-20 years. I swapped seats also.
