My experience with newer seats in the 55-9 trucks is they are too big. The backs are too tall and the cab tilts forward above the window. The seats sit very upright and not comfortable. Newer seats tend to be designed for the backs to lean back more than the original. Check the seat bottom also. They are generally longer than the original so you end up with your legs almost against the steering wheel. I have 05 suburban buckets in my 57 crew cab and if the cab was original, the backs of the seats would be past where the back of the cab would be.
