69-72 seats? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am gathering parts for the two trucks I am building. I already have buddy buckets in my 68 GMC along with a tach-vac dash and tilt. My 70 c10 I have a tach-vac dash and a tilt. I need to find some buckets and a console. I see that some people say the console for the chevy truck is the same for many years after the body stlye change. Can any one tell me what years fit[right] and look like they belong there? Jim

Those won't work for me. I'm 6'3 350 lbs. I have SEVERAL sets of those [since I rebuild them] and have about 10 of those 99 and up trucks for parts. The seat sets to tall in the truck for me. I was hoping for a more of a stock looking set up. I guess what I am asking is will buckets out of a 73-87 truck work the same as the69-72? Jim

The consoles stayed the same through`75,then went to the cup holder type.the seats are the same,too,except for the shape o the foam.I`d venture to say that,with the post`72 ones being more squared,the foam should be able to be shaed to the 71/72 or 69/70 shape.
The seats went to hi-back after that,until they were discontinued in pickups.
