Bench seat?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

smoked68 · 11-13-2013, 11:27 AM

I lost my bench seat, long story, so... where can I get another. Was wondering if a later modle seat out of a newer truck will work? One with the split that makes it look like buckets when middle is down. If that makes any sense at all???
Thanks, Mike

I have two 1968 GMC bench seats. Both have the sunken springs and traditional torn upholstery under the drivers butt.

I've been discouraged by everybody wanting $600.00+for a plain jane reup job on these simple bench seats. I happened to be at the wrecking yard the other day and got a beautiful set of cloth high back, charcoal cloth buckets from a 2002 Blazer ZR2 for $60.00 for the pair, so that's whats going in my 68.
