Cool

Well..... I have a 85 chevy..C-30 and I recently installed bucket seats in it. I now also have added a star shifter from B&M. I got my seats from JC Whitney. They run betwen $600 & $700. They are really sweet. They come with a hide away cooler under the middle seat.

seats

I put some bucket seats out of an Eagle Talon in my truck. The base from the seats was just the right heigth. They looked really sharp, and I got mine from a salvage yard, they looked brand new, and I only gave fifty dollars for them.

I had a 83 C10 SWB that I installed bucket in. I used the frame rails out of the suburban since the floor pan is the same. I also cut the front support out too (you will see what I mean if you take a look at a suburban in a junk yard). I then got seats out of a Ford Aerostar van. I can tell you that they were very confortable and they even had a arm rest. If you have any questions you can email me or pm me.
