I am really having a difficult time deciding on the seating setup for my 67 C10 build. I know alot of you have done some awesome installs in every price range imaginable. Let's see them all because I just can't decide.

70GMCer · 04-24-2008, 02:18 PM

Here's the style I used.

68Stepbed · 04-24-2008, 03:09 PM

Here's mine. 72 seat with new custom made foam.

Putter · 04-24-2008, 03:47 PM

Now that's cool. I still have the original from my '69 stored away. I may have to go that route and ditch the Suburban seat. Hmmmmmmmm.

I agree

The raised bolsters really change the look

Man those Rod Doors seats look great in the truck! What was the cost on them? I wouldn't get rid of my buddy buckets but maybe use them on a future project.

ChevLoRay · 04-25-2008, 01:56 AM

I'm with Putter, but I'm at the point where I'm going to "recolor" my Tahoe 2-nd row seat and install it. Good thing I don't need to adjust it....wife hates riding in it, much less driving it. Pity.

ap2002 · 04-25-2008, 02:55 AM

real nice seats

71Rat · 04-25-2008, 02:56 AM

sorry its the only pic i have but its a 2004 chevy silverado seats with a center console i built outta old signs....

Ol'Rover · 04-25-2008, 03:00 AM

i realy like your center console, not even kidding! thats very cool! very creative.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-25-2008, 03:58 AM

These are going in my Suburban. Buddy buckets with houndstooth material. Added heat to the seats and cup holders to the console,

ol'rover: thanks

Ol'Rover · 04-26-2008, 03:45 AM

is it just me or are these trucks the most comfortable pickups to drive, and to just sit in? I usually drive an 88 Scottsdale Ext.Cab...and when i go back and sit in my 71 its just 100x more comfortable than the 88! i love my 71 and the seat thats in it cant wait to get RoverII on the road!

Shaffer4 · 04-26-2008, 06:31 AM

Being 6' 8" tall the foot well could be a little bit deeper... especially with the Manual Truck I just bought. as for my '70, I foolishly tossed the stock bench and ran some crappy (fox body mustang) buckets for a while. Currently I have a '88-'93? Chevy truck bench sitting in there as it has a thinner profile (tank removed) which should fit my frog legs a little better, I also have a late 70's El Camino bench I've pondered using.
