And oh yeah...these seats are nice and comfy, too! With these seats, factory pickup bucket seats tracks would be easier to use because of the floor contour however, I didn't have or could find a set at the time so....I used 2 sets of bench seat tracks and shortened them all down about 4" and re-drilled a couple holes in each seat frame to accept them.

Then, rather than drill a big hole in the hole and try a nut/bolt operation, I opted to go for a factory look again by drilling a hole, welding a nut on the underside and using the same sized seat bolt to secure them to the floor. On seat and seatbelt bolts, I dip the tips of the bolts inwheel bearing grease so they go in nice and it helps prevent rust from the outside. From underneath, once the welds cooled, I plugged the threads and undercoated the nuts also.

1992 Silverado bench. Very comfortable. I used some 2" angle to modify the stock bracket to hold the (88-94) seat.

Right side wins:metal:

Im going to look into some 07 plus seats. I think that would be killer...

all the other seats look great in the cabs also. Great fab work on the 92 seat

Thats pretty cool. never thought of car seats.

Re: pics of custom seats or bench or buckets. what cha got???
 

F*rd Exploder seats with a 2010 chevy center console. Really comfortable seats if you can find a set. Similar to the ones in the late model powerstrokes.

I found a set of factory hibacks then had them covered with lmc cloth.

Details man!
Details!!
What seats are those?
Looks like you flattened the floor?

Re: pics of custom seats or bench or buckets. what cha got???
 

Seats are out of a 2008 silverado. We had to flatten the floor to make them fit.

JKnight, were did you get those door inserts? I like the black.

Re: pics of custom seats or bench or buckets. what cha got???
 

Lots of nice looking options above….

I went with 1989-91 Suburban buckets recovered in later model fabric (the center is 2010 GMC fabric and the outer vinyl is 2010 RAM material).

Im still mocking up the 2nd row seat out of a 09 tahoe WIP

Re: pics of custom seats or bench or buckets. what cha got???
 

Here's a picture of some (very rare) Cadillac Sixty Special seats installed in my 1990 Suburban. These were ideal seats to install because they are true bucket seats rather than the 60/40 seats commonly found in other Cadillacs of the same vintage. The width of the seats were perfect and there is even a narrower spot on the seat to clear for the Suburban seat belts. I welded a flat bar across the seat rails so I could use the existing holes on the Suburban. The next thing I've got to do is dye the seats black and install the Cadillac seat switch adjusters. I'll probably install those on the door panel just like the Cadillacs.

As far as comfort, they are by far the most comfortable seats I have even sat on for a long trip.

I remember somewhere someone posted a factory bench seat done in houndstooth much like the 67-72 trucks have. I can't find it right now. Made me want to do a "what if" COPO style tribute truck.

You may be thinking of Jonboys truck which is now owner by baclay9.
