1959 Apache

Most of my attention is being paid to the 68 C20 in my signature, but sometimes it is nice to take a break from one project and do something small on another.

I have had a pair of circa 1990 GM extended cab bucket seats sitting in the shop gathering dust, and worse, being used as stepping stools, so I thought I would install them in the Apache. They came as a package, along with a 1970's red console that I actually wanted when I went to make the purchase. The seller of course thought these buckets were the big ticket item and basically threw the console in. I have considered selling these seats, and even offered them to someone who could use them, but for now I just wanted them put to use.

Being that the floor and mounting positions of the Apache are that of a 1997 Tahoe, they went in without too much fuss at all. And the driver's side is powered! Up down, back forth etc.

I don't know if this will be permanent - I had a different plan and might still go in that direction - but it beats the busted bench seat I have had in it for the last several years. I might look into having them recovered into vinyl or leather if such a kit exists.
