Bucket Seat Options

Going to install bucket seats in my 70 C10 with a custom made center console. Been looking at TMI seats, but thought I might like something different than everyone else. Any good ideas out there for a comfortable lowback bucket seat which would work and look good in this truck? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Re: Bucket Seat Options

I know you said low back but on my 68 I bought a set of 2013 VW GTI seats. They were $350 for the pair. They were dark gray so I used fabric paint to change them to black.
Great seats. Lumbar and vertical adjustment. Very comfy.
See pics.

Interesting. Does the passenger side seat tilt forward? I have a GMC Jimmy [4-eyed Blazer] and the forward tilt is needed to get in the back.

Re: Bucket Seat Options

I wonder if these seats would work well in our trucks. The price sure is attractive.

Re: Bucket Seat Options

The GTI seats do tilt and slide forward. The GTI's came in two and four doors. Don't know if that makes any difference tilt wise.
