Aftermarket bench seats (pics?)

[Arekusu]

Hi All,

Looking for a new bench.. I got mine recovered while I was in New Mexico back in the day but it's already looking cruddy.

I'm looking at these three right now.. anyone have any experience with them? My truck is turquoise and the cab inside is gold.. I'm thinking the bench should either be black or brown.. thoughts?

I thought links would work better.. maybe you guys can see something wrong with these things.

****.. for that money just look in your local online classfieds and get some take-outs from a wrecked late model truck/suburban, etc and mount them up..

I paid $250 for my driver/passenger and $50 for my jump seat.

Find a nice 89+ Chevy and you could have it redone for less than those.

I have a seat from a 2002 Silverado, has integrated shoulder belts and mine has power.

Thanks for the replies.

Ya I've searched and have seen the bench seat thread. I haven't seen those seats listed or read about anyone using them ( the ones in the links I posted).

I know the newer bench seats are nice and comfy, already covered nice too.. one problem for me is that they look way too modern. My truck has a late 50's through 60's hot rod theme going on. A modern seat isn't going to look right at all in the cab. So I'm leaning towards the bench that looks like the buddy buckets that I listed.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm willing to ship the current bench seat out to someone who does good work.. as long as it's comfortable when I get it back and it holds up.. the current re covering is 3 years old and looks like crap. And I don't think he used new foam as it's pretty uncomfortable.

I'm a fan of the last one. I agree, the new seats are just a little modern for me too. I'd really like to have buddy buckets, but those are really nice too.

not to high jack the thread , but what late model years and model trucks will fit our year trucks? i no you'll have to do some modifications , but is there a certain make and model that fits really well with slight modifications? thanks . merry xmas.

Ya I haven't seen to many pics of buddy buckets in a 60-66. It'd be nice to see a few pics in finished projects.

Merry Christmas.

I have contacted these folks a few times and will use them when the time comes. The quality looks top notch and also inexpensive.

Here is a thread about them:

Least $$, is to recover the original.

I think best bet, comfort, size, style is to get a 80-90's chevy truck bench seat and recover in a 60's style.

Just my .02

I have 2006 silverado non HD 1500, 40/20/40, again for the seat belts!
I sold the original bench for 100$ to a co-worker.

I already have seat belts in the truck and will probably upgrade to some tougher ones for racing.
