Re: Bucket Seats

bucket seats were available in the late 70s truck, finding a set maybe hard to find, but they are out there.. found a 78 or 79 shortbed with buckets, tach, sport mirros and sport bumpers on it for $1300. needed work and I didnt need another project.. if you can have brackets made you can put almost any bucket seat you want in, as long as its does sit up too high, where your legs are squished between the seat and steering wheel.

Re: Bucket Seats

Buckets from a Suburban would be the "easiest" bolt-in, but you still need the inner floor supports.

You can put anything in them that you want depending on how much you are willing to fabricate. I had Toyota pickup seats in mine at one time.
