Need pics - factory buckets w/high hump

I am trying to decide if I want to go with a high hump in my '68 project. I have a set of factory 71-72 bucket seats and console, but not sure if I want to convert the cab to a high hump.

Re: Need pics - factory buckets w/high hump

Just curious if you need a high hum or are you doing it for the looks?

Pretty sure it doesn't matter. The seats should work fine either way.

Thanks, I am curious about looks more than anything.

I don't need it initially, but do have plans for a big block and Turbo 400 later. The current engine and trans are 350/350.

I agree, but wanted to see examples so I will know what it will look like vs a low hump with buckets.

Re: Need pics - factory buckets w/high hump

Pretty easy install, and with buckets/console you wont need the center leg room. You can do it now and when you do the BB/th400 swap you will already be good to go.

Yep, I have the high hump already. Just need to decide if I like the look better than the low hump.
