Same exact seat I had in mine for a while. Those things sit PERFECT I think. It's almost like having bucket seats!

Looks good

looks awesome, I would love to get some 60/40 in mine. Did you add the cup holder after also? thats a big prob with mine, no cup holders.

dons72 · 06-28-2003, 04:16 PM

Looks great. I like the speakers in the door panels I may try that with my old ones.

Here is the link to the cup holder.

Fyi: if you fiddle with the radio and heater controls a lot the cup holder becomes a pain.

Looks great Bill. Just like it belongs.

Awesome Bill!!!

BraveDave · 06-28-2003, 05:57 PM

Those seats looks great. Is the seat back as thick as the stock seats? Where did you get the seats and what did they run you?

Dave , the seats are real comfortable They are a little thicker than the stock , and sit about an 1"or 2" higher , I also have to move the seat forward to lower the consul then move it back .
There are 2 seats on ebay right now.

Piston ; that was why I wanted this seat I also like the console down for the arm rest ,I't will only go up if I have a third person in the truck.

krue · 06-29-2003, 01:56 AM

Bill72bb is that a trailer brake controller mounted under the dash? It looks like the one that was on my truck. Was that a dealer option? I took mine off, but I still have it somewhere around here.

beau396 · 06-29-2003, 02:15 AM

same exact seat and color even as the seat in my '67.

MidniteChevy68 · 06-29-2003, 04:29 AM

Krue ; Yes it was in the B4 pic ,I removed it when I did the brakes and replaced the Master Cylinder .about 6 months ago.

Donnie : I used the outer front original mounting holes ,as advised by others who have this seat. then marked and drilled the remaining 6 holes ,I used the large fender washers under the truck and smaller one's inside .
The only adapter I needed for this frame was the front inner mount on the 60 seat .I used a 1 1/2'" pipe nipple worked perfect.Kind of ( see pic) but works fine so far.
The seat belt are out of a late 80's S10 they worked great with the stock seat ,but the buckles could be about 2 "longer for the 60/40 I'm going to stick with them for now because they do work but if it starts annoying me I will look for something else.

barn9 · 06-29-2003, 01:26 PM

Looks very nice Bill. Put me on the list that would like to see some pics of the seat mounting, and also the seat belt mounting. That seat is a nice match for your interior, is it quite a bit more comfortable than your other seat? Having an arm rest like that would be great IMO.
