dream68 · 01-10-2003, 02:01 PM

I will be looking for a donor bench seat for my 68 c-10 1/2 ton pretty soon. what recommendations do you guys or gals have???

dream68 · 01-10-2003, 02:05 PM

Any pics would be appreciated!!!

You can fit just about anything in our trucks. The 88 and above full sized Chevy/GMC are alsmost a bolt in and very confortable in my book.

Mine is out of a basic 90 Chevy C1500

NSANE68!!! · 01-10-2003, 02:29 PM

Mine looked just like that, till I had it done up PIMP style.

Purs · 01-10-2003, 05:06 PM

can't say enough good things about these out of a 99 Sub

Hotrod70C10 · 01-10-2003, 07:23 PM

How is the legroom with that suburban seat?

Project1970 · 01-10-2003, 07:53 PM

I've got the second-row seats out of a '99 Sub...still haven't gotten pics but I love 'em.

Purs · 01-10-2003, 09:24 PM

I had good room with a non tilt, now with the tilt I have a ton of room. I'm 6'0 tall.

**67sss** · 01-11-2003, 12:48 AM

Hey purs, didn't see a gas cap or tank, did you move it to make the seat fit?.........

*Piston* · 01-11-2003, 01:15 AM

I've got the same seat as Purs. My tank is still in BUT you have to move the seat forward in order to raise/lower the center console. It hits the tank in the middle.

dream68 · 01-11-2003, 01:39 AM

Thanks for all the feedback guys. im putting my tank in the rear so there should be no problem with any seat..

Purs · 01-11-2003, 09:52 AM

I moved my tank so I could put my sub woofers behind the seat.

**67sss** · 01-14-2003, 10:14 PM

which type of gas tank did you use and where did you put it? how hard was it? did it interfear with your suspention?..thanks

dream68 · 01-15-2003, 03:16 PM

67sss: i have not put a tank in yet but when i do i will let you know!!!

Figment412 · 01-15-2003, 06:25 PM

I am holding out for a leather 40/20/40 out of a f250/350. I will have to look into that 99 sub seat, looks good. Do those come in leather?

oldcarbuff · 01-16-2003, 12:44 PM

I have a second row seat from a suburban in mine. It sits a little higher, but feels great. I put in an Astro van steering wheel to make a little more room to slide my leg past the wheel.

The second row seats are shorter than the fronts. The headrests just peep up into the back window (mine is a small rear window)

Has a center console with two cupholders and little thing for kleenex (which I use for my garage door opener). I have the tank still in the cab in my truck.

You can get them in leather or cloth from truckandrv.com. Mine cost $140. With the new seat, steering wheel, window regulators and rubbers (thanks GMC Paul), I feel like I am driving a late model!

No pics yet, but I'm working on it.

I have a 2nd burb seat in leather, figment412. Bought it as a new takeout off ebay. I haven't been able to install it yet tho...Too many projects!

Very cool. Does it have a fold down arm rest at all?

Project1970 · 01-16-2003, 06:26 PM

The center seat has a fold-down that doubles as center armrests and cupholders. Works really well, IMO.
