What year trucks can you pull a donor bench seat from that will be a direct fit for 1966 c10?

looked at an 1984 chevy but that one wont work.

I believe a GM seat from 88 -94.

Most pull a part yard are about $20ish

TJ's Chevy · 11-26-2013, 09:35 PM

Or another 66 c-10 seat. lol.

The 88 to 94 seats fit well side to side, can be run with the stock tank location, are a thinner construction to build from to get more room between you and the wheel and the front holes of the slider assemblies are a direct bolt in. Just have to drill the rears and through bolt with a body washer or weld in a captured nut.

My friend gave me the seat from his 69-72 Suburban and it fit the stock holes. I suppose the pickup to be the same.

Hmm. I might have to see if I can bum a seat from someone with a 67-72 truck to test fit. It seems I read somewhere that you could unbolt the mounts from a 60-66 seat and bolt them to a 67-72 seat to make it a bolt in but never heard they bolted in directly.

Got a bench seat from my buddies 69 GMC to put in my 64 and bolted right in with 69 brackets. Easy swap!!

AzCountryman · 11-27-2013, 03:05 AM

So a 60-72...will bolt right in..maybe have to swap the brackets and an 88-94 but will have to drill new back holes.
Should be easy enough then to find a pre 72 seat

BigDan3131 · 11-27-2013, 03:31 AM

Why do you need to swap it? Do you not have one right now? I'm going to just have mine rebuilt and add the seat heaters they sell from LMC to both sides for the extra comfort.

AzCountryman · 11-27-2013, 01:20 PM

The passenger side back support is broken. Needs to be rewelded. Plus it will need new foam and all that. I haven't priced getting a seat redone but seems like something that is expensive.

I'm looking at '99-'04 silverado seats because they have built-in three point belts. Does anyone know if they will work with stock gas tank? I'm running a seat out of a Ford conversion pickup now and the center arm rest won't fold down with the stock tank.

I had my seat redone in white vinyl black pipeing had broken springs for $300. Of course leather is more. You would probably need to recover replacement seats anyways.
