Comfy new seat!
 

I just finished putting an '88-'98 bench seat into the '63 today. Boy do I like how nice that is! Good fit, comfortable as all get out and easy to do! Just thought I'd share my excitement.

Please post a pic when you get a chance.

Hey, does the seat make you sit closer to the steering wheel? How about headroom?

Looks nice in there. ;)

Sorry guys, but I don't have photo software on my computer.

And Cort, I don't really notice too much of a difference between stock and this one, other than sitting just a hair higher.

Funny guy, Ron!!

Not sure if you can tell anything but here is a Photo of mine-

It used original front mounting holes. Plenty of head room, wish there was more leg room, but I have the tank in cab still. I can measure (something) if anybody wants.

While grabbing the seat, grab the carpet behind it, it fits our trucks pretty well, just requires holes for the push clips.

If it looks anything like astrochimp's, then I'm excited too.... Looks good.

At least tell us what color yours is. :D

Forgot to add, I grabbed the seat belts from the truck also.

For the retractors I had to trim some plastic on the seat (hidden) side to make fit. made backing plates for the other points, IIRC 2" x3", for the shoulders you need to weld a nut to the plates, all easy install except drivers shoulder due to gas tank.

Here is some data on '90's vintage seats:

The guy I bought my '65 from said it had a '91 Chevy truck bench seat in it. It has the small fold down arm rest in the middle. He had it recovered so other than the seat brackets it's hard to tell what vintage it is.

I am about 6'1, 180 pounds. The seat isn't too close to the steering wheel. Once I remove the tank from the cab I should gain a little bit more room, but not more than about an inch.

Here's a photo.

It installed just as astrochimp said and it is a light tan. So it is very close to the interior Fawn paint.
