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

My '66 Burb has the panel-style 75/25 split bench up front, and nothing behind it. I'm looking to have seating for five people eventually (three up front, two behind).

Probably keep the stock seat and rebuild it, though I'm not totally sure what I want to do. It's got a metal backing plate, so perhaps I'll cut down the 75% portion and use it for a rear. The metal would make a nice durable headboard in my cargo area.

Whatever I do, I'm interested in low-buck options, and definitely want to keep benches with a stock feel. CL here in PDX is lousy with seats from Astros, 67-72 trucks, etc...

Anyone out there swap anything in? What worked? Anything with built in belts? Just looking to get some ideas rolling. As always, pictures help!

Thanks!
