any Chevy Gurus out there?.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

What am I saying of course there is!!!!...haha or maybe anyone willing to take a wild guess as to what these seats came out of?

Back story is that they came out of a late(ish) 60's chevy. Already installed when I bought the truck. The guy couldn't remember what they came out of....

Seems like the top has a spot for a head rest slide. Removing the screws did nothing, it is like the plastic piece is glued to the leather. Looks like one thick rod inside and not the two post style "modern" headrest.

Seat moves forward sliding on rails as well... perfect for getting to my gas tank

Has one of those little "flippper" switches so my guess is it came out of some sort of two door coupe.

]
There is lettering in the foam 20421686 on one side and F-E(F?)-8 on the other side, not sure if that means anything

If additional pics would help let me know. I am trying to find the OEM color so I can match a few interior pieces to them and possibility repair the seats as well.

Thanks for any input!!!

after searching all day I believe they are 66-67 chevelle or el-camino seats can anyone verify?

ksshane · 11-01-2013, 04:16 PM

65 chevelle maybe

Bigdav160 · 11-01-2013, 04:41 PM

They do not look like any GM seat I've ever worked on.

Most of my '60s models, with buckets, had "strato" backed seats.

They're not GM, They're out of something else like maybe 80's T Bird

Tinkermc · 11-01-2013, 06:07 PM

do not look like any chevy that I have ever seen b-4

67Run · 11-01-2013, 06:39 PM

they look like from a firebird. from the back of my childhood memory riding in my aunt's trans am. or maybe a buick regal. dunno. looks familiar though.

'68 was the first year for head rests and I don't think they are GM anyway...so I don't know

seaglass · 11-01-2013, 08:46 PM

Thanks for the replies! didn't think it would be so time consuming to find what seats they are will keep the search up tomorrow. thanks again guys!

The recliner and "flipper" look the same as a early to mid 80's S-10. But those seats are not S truck. They may be General from the early to mid 80's because those two plastic pieces just speak to me saying remember.

**HeloCrewChief** · 11-02-2013, 02:08 AM

Definitely not from a Chevelle. Maybe a Corvair or something odd like that?

Bigdav160 · 11-02-2013, 09:13 AM

I think you need to search Ford or Ford product like a Jaguar.

towbar · 11-02-2013, 09:50 AM

Not from the 60's due to the reclining feature....there were some recliners in the late 60's luxury cars I think but they were few and far in between....plus the reclining leaver is plastic so I don't think the 70's either......I'm going to say they're from the 80's. Definitely looks like a GM reclining lever so I'd look at GM subsidiaries like Buick, Caddy, Opal, Saab from that time frame.

Not Chevelle or early Firebird ,but they look very comfy ,if they bolt in and sit right I would recover them and use them ,they look good.
