I frequent many forums but with this one I cannot find the interior section? Is there one I am missing? I need ideas for different seats I can fit in my 68.

I used a set of buckets from a 2008 or 2009 Chevy truck. They're dark grey cloth with integrated seatbelts and a flip-up center console. I think I paid right about $200 for them from the junkyard and another $100 to have the upholstery cleaned.

They fit really well. I'm not sure how it would do with the tank still in the cab, I removed mine. It wasn't exactly a bolt-in uprgade, but it wasn't real difficult either. I think I had to drill four holes. Because the seatbelts are now in the seats you need to make sure the bolts aren't going to come flying out of the floor pan in the event of a front end collision. I used a 6 inch square piece of 1/8-inch steel to back the nuts underneath the truck. I also used the old seatbelt bolt holes to wrap a strap around the seat frame. Probably overkill, but better safe than sorry.

I don't have any decent pics right now. In these two you can sort of see how they fit.

The seats are out so I can install new carpet and sound mat. But, I'll get some pics taken as I reinstall.
