Im making long 24+ hour runs to pick up parts a lot. I hate to complain, but my bench seat just isnt cutting it for comfort. After a while, my a$$ starts feeling like a cinder block. So my question is, What is the best thing you can do to improve comfort? Im considering everything from removing the bench, and going with something else…. To re-appolstering the bench with monster amounts of foam….

But I have no idea what works.. what do you guys think??

Thanks!

I have the full bench from a mid 90s Silverado. It's much more comfortable.

Ive got a 98 bench seat in my 85 I had to rig it onto the factory brackets cause of the high floorboard in those trucks

But i own a 72 & 68 with early 90s seats and they have the factory brackets on them and work great all the brackets were the same till the body style change so if you can get the brackets that came on the newer model seats its as easy as drillin holes in the floor board I would put some plate or flatbar under the seat bolt for more stability thou
