New seats arrived.
I ordered these 3 months ago but I feel they were worth the wait.
True bolt in with all hardware if you order the seat mounting bracket. Upgraded 7 springs for both. My truck will be blue in the future. https://shop4seats.com/ Made in the U.S.A. Last edited by HOGDADDY; 07-17-2023 at 02:32 PM. |

Re: New seats arrived.
They look beautiful.
I still get nervous riding around without headrests on my seats. I knew a rugged guy that got rear ended and whiplashed and turned into an almost vegetable. I plan to go with some 90's seats someday.

Re: New seats arrived.
I'm with you on that, I've gone high back buckets in everything I've swapped. I've been rear-ended a few times, don't need my head cracking into a window or snapping back into nothingness.

Even back in 1991 upholstery costs where insane. I came across a set of factory nova buckets in ratty shape so costed out getting them redone before buying them (glad I did) and ended up looking for something in the wreckers in good shape at a fraction of the cost. Had to make my own brackets, but thats no big deal. |

Re: New seats arrived.
Those look nice. Did you have to build the mounting bracket or did it come with the seats?

Re: New seats arrived.
The seat bracket pictured above has the side brackets attached backwards and reversed.

Re: New seats arrived.
Nothing ever is a bolt-in it seems. I had to fashion 4 3/16" bolt spacers and longer bolts for the side brackets from flat bar stock-steel from Home Depot to properly line up frame to stock c10 seat holes in floor.
The seats are in I will upload pics soon. |

Re: New seats arrived.
I would like to know how you feel about their comfort after you try them for a bit. I had a set of these same seats 5-6 years ago, I found them very uncomfortable and pulled them back out after 2 months.

Re: New seats arrived.
I actually went with a TMI bench seat after the Shop4seats buckets! The TMI bench is 10x better in my opinion for comfort.
I do hope you enjoy the seats, maybe mine were just made wrong - I could not get comfortable no mater what I tried. The backs were so thick that I could not recline them much in the truck cab and they seemed to be cut in a way where they needed to be reclined or they would dig into the top of my back. |

Re: New seats arrived.
Those look really great, and three months wait is nothing nowadays. Upholstery is on a nine month schedule, just read this site.
I bet they are really comfortable, too: after sitting in a sagged out bench seat for a few years I could use a firmer seat.

Re: New seats arrived.
Shop4seats has bench seats w/headrests but they state:
"Recommended for use in expanded cabs; to maximize space in a single cab, the 40-20-40 low back truck seats are best." I am ok without headrests. I rolled (more than once) a 77 C10 and crushed C5 bone in my neck many years ago and now have a cadaver bone in its place. The only thing salvageable on that truck was the trailer hitch. A roll bar might have helped. Last edited by HOGDADDY; 08-23-2023 at 04:29 PM. |
