Bucket Seats
Hey guys, Im looking for some ideas for seats for my truck. I know what the OEM buckets look like and thats not really what Im going for. I wanna see some sport buckets. Something with some moderate to big bolster, and a low rise back. If you post pics of your truck or someone's you know, I want to know what brand they are. Thanks for the help

Re: Bucket Seats
I've used seats from a Subaru Outback/Forester before. They're very comfortable and are almost a bolt in seat.

Re: Bucket Seats
I've always like the Scat Procar rally 1000 seats. You can get them in vinyl, leather, or cloth and in lots of colors.
check them out in a Laguna: http://www.popularhotrodding.com/tec...una/index.html

Re: Bucket Seats
they're not as spendy as Recaro's! You can get the vinyl seat for around $325, $375 for velour, and leather is like $650. Thats's each, plus the mounts are like $85 each.
Not cheap....but you do get an all NEW seat and hardware.

Re: Bucket Seats
I put some '06 GTO seats in mine. Couldn't be happier. I'm working on a center console so just ignore the MDF in the middle. They were pretty easy to mount up. I paid $350 for both of them out of a wrecked GTO. I will also be getting some belts here soon, just using the old lap belts for now.

Hey Glider_6969, nice setup on the seats! I'm hoping to do something of the same, I want some late model silverado seats w/ the shoulder belts built in. How well did your setup bolt to the floor? I was hoping to find something to fit the same bolt pattern, but that may be just wishful thinking. Thanks all for the great pics!!! Justin

Re: Bucket Seats
They are not mine. I had this picture on my computer, I don't remember where it came from.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=366141 Although they were bought last October, I'm JUST getting around to putting them in. I've taken the old Bench Seat Out. Then had to deal with some Rust/Floor Pan issues. Got that done, and now I'm waiting on the Seatbelts to put in and THEN (Finally) the seats!
