Seat suggestions
 
The '68 bench and woodshop console have both given up the ghost this winter.

What are you using for a Suburban/Tahoe/Escalade/Denali donor? I'm not hung up on powered vs. manual, heat, integrated belts etc. I'm leaning towards more recent stuff just so I don't have to recover a worn seating surface.

Do the newer console/jump seats fit the high hump floor at all?

Thanks.
Loren

This thread may help you. I know it helped me.

One thing to keep in mind is many later model seats are deeper front to back and if your tall you may find yourself cramped while driving.

That's the one I was looking for. Thanks.

I replaced my seats a long time ago. But I did put in 1998 or 1999 Pontiac Bonneville Gray leather buckets. They are nine way adjustable if I remember correctly. You can google them. Real comfortable. My younger brother made a console for the truck.

Don't know if you want bucket seats but in my 68 I used 2014 VW GTI seats. Great seats. They were kind a dark gray but I used spray bomb for fabric to change them into black.
Couple of pics before and after.

This seat photo is a member here but, my memory can't recall who it was. It was the inspiration for the seat I built for my Burban. They are an optional seat for 92 to 96 ford pickups. Width wise they are exactly the same as our seats.
