NEW - Bench seats

Anyone know of companies selling NEW bench seats for our trucks? Looking to find something that would bolt right in. (If that exists)

Re: NEW - Bench seats

These guys make more of a bucket seat style of bench, not sure if they make a straight up bench.

http://www.discountvantruck.com/disc...ries/truck.htm

Ive never used them but I think a handful of people on here have. They make a bracket to bolt their new seats in using the existing holes. I had thought about going this route but they are spendy and some of the internet reviews arent that great for them. Im going with a 99-06 Silverado bucket bench combo in mine instead, this wont bolt right up though.

Might call these guys (not cheap though):

I re-habbed an original bench seat and it came out very nice.

It looks like they sell individual springs, but I can't find a picture. It might be a good place to get replacements for those broken driver-side spring that are so common.

Re: NEW - Bench seats

Both companies have some nice seats!! I'm going to have a local shop look at my seat first but want a back up plan. My seat is in killer condition and recovered by PO. But I don't like how it gives out in turns. I want some denser foam.

Re: NEW - Bench seats

I know you said new, but why not check the junk yard? You might be surprised how nice a bench you could find, and then put a cover on it. Check out this one I've been picking over for the past week

Re: NEW - Bench seats

Where were you finding the end springs on this site? I hope they are selling them, cause I'm in need of one.

I'm not sure if they are the end springs or not, as there is no picture(s). Click on the link above, and in the middle of the page, click "Accessories". Under "Misc. Items", the last one is a spring, listed at $5.

You could probably call or email to find out if that is the right kind of spring.
