Those are the exact same seats the I have. I was told that they are original. They bolt right in, I just don't know were the seat covers are from. I've never seen another set until now.

They look like the ones that came in Dodge Trucks ???

farside847 · 04-11-2006, 11:28 AM

The frame and center seat is identicle to stock. I bet its just an aftermarket seat covers that throws the look off.

**CPNE** · 04-11-2006, 11:33 AM

Yes...for a Dodge

teeitup · 04-11-2006, 12:47 PM

I was thinking they look like Dodge seats but I wasn't sure. I've never seen the covers like those in our years.

Bob Moore · 04-11-2006, 01:32 PM

The frame is GM in my opion. Dodge did not use that downward brace in the middle. Ends of frame are GM.

Just my .02cents - Bob

sneakysnake · 04-11-2006, 02:04 PM

Those are chevy seats, these are dodge seat here.

smokekiki · 04-11-2006, 04:33 PM

All the dodge seats i have seen had the vertical pattern in the covers.

BLAZERMAN · 04-11-2006, 06:20 PM

They do look like Dodge seats with the chevy base, heres a pic of the seats from a 1969 Dodge dealer brochure. Both the Chevy and Dodge versions of these seats were manufactured by Bostram, just minor differences.

72armyswbtruck · 04-11-2006, 06:25 PM

Hey, wheres the pic? You said that you were going to include a pic, where's it at.
Please, you should know that I love pics, my tech pictures file is getting huge

BLAZERMAN · 04-11-2006, 06:31 PM

Sorry, lets try it this way.

**special-K** · 04-12-2006, 09:11 AM

Ok,I agree with Blazerman.
