Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

Mine are mid-90s Dodge Caravan buckets. Those buckets you had look good in there.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

BTW, I don't think Ken was calling your post a bad idea, just linking some similar threads. Could be wrong, but that's my take on it.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

yea, i dont mean to post stupid stuff.
and i didnt search. i actually saw 2 of the 3 links he posted.
i was looking for more images, so i threw it out there.

just recently put a 60/40 bench from a 92 ext cab in mine.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

how much modifying is involved to swap seats?

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

I installed the 60/40 bench from a '96 into my '85. Wasn't too bad, just had to make a frame for the seat, then weld it into place on the '85 slide mechanism. The pain was setting the front/back placement to provide legroom for me, while having adjustability for my wife. I love it, my wife loves it.
I'll add pictures when I get home.

The straight bench is pretty easy. The split bench i havnt done one of them. http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...15pile0001.jpg http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...15pile0002.jpg http://i358.photobucket.com/albums/o...15pile0006.jpg I used the stock bench track and didnt use the 91 seat track.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

Here is a link to the mods that I did to mount the seat.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

You are correct sir. I looked it up because there was a similar thread that had several links in it. I couldn't find that one so I posted those. The phone rang so I didn't have to to post anything other than the links.

Back seat out of a 90 crew cab. Hardly ever been sat in, so the foam feels like new. And the price was right!

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

I had my stock seat rebuilt and recovered for about $225, but if I had it to do over again I would get some late model 60/40 GM truck seat with integral fold down armrest. I saw a nice seat set up from a 2003 GMC for $250 at a junkyard recently, plus it had integral seat belts which I like. Those seats are much more comfortable than our stock seats, and when the driver's seat wears out you just have to rebuild/replace that one seat, not the whole bench.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

Now there's a good idea I never thought of.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

How much problem is involved to put Camaro seats in there? A lot of welding? I am trying to find a replacement that would mount up easily with the least modification.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

They are the same exact seat. Just remove the brackets from the rear seat, and bolt down the sliders from the front.

That being said, I picked these up on Friday:

and got these today:

Plans are to remove all the OEM hardware off of the seats and install the above slide tracks. Then I will build a rectangular frame from thick wall 1" square tubing and attach mounting tabs to bolt into the stock location on the floor. Then I can make mounting tabs to fit the new slide tracks. This way I can set the seat height right where I want it, as well as the angle front to back.

I got mine out of a '91 Suburban, and have been very happy with them.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

So you use the rear seat from a crew cab or suburban and mount the seats to the floor brackets? I'm just trying to get clarification.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

Not Suburbans, just crew cabs. They are the same seat, so you just swap out the slide tracks from your seat to the replacement seat.

Re: seats...what did you put in your truck
 

Once i get done w/ my truck i`m gonna Get these recovered, i`m using seats out of a 87 corvette.There comfortable, adjustable as i used the bucket seat floor mounts from a truck and modified the seat tracks on the corvette to mount to the factory floor holes rather then drilling new ones and using aftermarket bolts.
