im looking for pics of modern seats in these trucks. i need to get ideas for my swap. I currently have a bench seat and am looking to get a new bench seat, maybe one with a console that folds up flush with the back.

lets see pictures of new seats in these old trucks!

thanks guys

These Italian leather seats were out of a very rare 1990 Cadillac 60 Special. They are 10 times more comfortable than the bucket seats that came out my 1990 Suburban. I plan to dye them black. In terms of comfort, I highly recommend them.

those do look quite nice lots of power adjustment too!

Not finished yet but you get the idea.

I have a 93 silverado 60/40 seat in my truck at the moment. Fits good, just have to section the side rails.

Nice setup, been wanting to get rid of the gas tank humps for years...possibilities are endless once those are gone.

Also look at 91-96 Caprice seats. Very comfortable. My 94 caprice wagon had full power, 8 way adjustable seats (both sides) that were 60/40 with arm rest that folded up for 3rd person to sit.

It's a pain to put modern seats in these trucks with the floor hump and tanks underneath

i like your ideas guys, i love my bench too but my truck is a daily driver and so i tend to keep a bunch of stuff in it and i really really need cupholders, but my fiance likes to sit in the middle most of the time so im looking for either a seat like the ones 76stepside01 used or for a bench in which the console/cupholders fold up and hide inside the bench

88Jimmy4x4 · 10-15-2012, 09:29 PM

Have these exact same seats and wish I had kept the bench,first they sit too high, even with the lowest setting on the mounts, have to bring the seat fwd to have good touch on the pedals and second they are as hard as a rock.

cory d · 10-15-2012, 09:34 PM

those look good, i dont know about the console. i need 73-75 doors, they look way better

88Jimmy4x4 · 10-15-2012, 09:37 PM

I know its not the bucket/bench but........it is an option lol

cory d · 10-16-2012, 12:32 AM

i have a spare bench seat (its th couch in ym bedroom), maybe i can try making it more like a bucket.

cal30_sniper · 10-16-2012, 12:56 AM

I put '96 Suburban seats into my '86. As long as you can score the factory bucket seat rails for your truck, they are "almost" a bolt in job.

Instructions on how I did it here:
