The biggest issue is the floor in the C10 has the humps for the gas tanks, so it makes a modern truck seat way too high. Some people relocate their tank(s) and cut the floor down to level, but that's a crazy amount of work for seats. There are other aftermarket options with low bases made for these trucks. I personally found some Recaro seats and adapter brackets to bolt them in. They fit awesome.

SLOSH TUBZ makes a Universal bracket.
