glad I found this page
Hi Guys, I just registered today this looks like a great website. I need some help! I am building a 70 sw, (looks like a 71) and I need some help with a seat swap. I would like to stay with a bench seat and am thinking about trying to find and install a later model seat. Any ideas on the interchange? Also need seatbelts, black. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

are you looking for new or used seatbelts? I heard that a 90's bench out of a pickup bolts in without much mods.

Welcome to the club from the center of everything....ok, central Ohio.
This place rocks huh?  A very common seat swap is that out of the '88 - when ever Chevy C/K. You cn go with the split, or solid bench. Only draw back is they sit a little too hich, and if you are a little short for your weight, your thighs will rub on the wheel...even with the little 15 inch Grant GT.  ------------------ '69 G.M.C. 350/350. Trying to clean up the left over damage from the Dope-Smokin-Old-Man I've been dubbed the Longhorn Freak/Fanatic/Expert, I just hope I can live up to it. FINALLY got the HORNIAC...a '70 one ton Longhorn with a Pontiac 350/350 and lots of 'personality'. Check out The Longhorn Webite.

thank you all for the warm welcome, I am sure to have lots of Q's for you soon! as for the seatbelts I would love to find some nice used or new (black) shoulder or lap belts. I gus I'll need to take care of the seat first. It's nice to talk to people that have a clue about something other than hondas. HA HA. thanks again.
