FYI---Seats

This is just an informational thread concerning aftermarket seats.

During my build I elected to use some really nice black leather seats out of a trailblazer. The seats are very comfortable and look great, However, they are just "too much" seat for this cab. I removed the gas tank, mounted the seats as far back as possible but the leg room is still very cramped. Very cramped since I'm using a 4 speed. I'm tall so using the clutch is unhandy because of seating position.
Now to the reason for the post. I decided to go with the TMI brand aftermarket seat with the mounting brackets for these trucks. Just ordered so I cant add any info about looks or how they feel. What I do want to pass on is----If anyone else is considering TMI seats, you can buy them from TMI, from LMC or Summit or-----the list goes on and one. You might think that LMC would be the cheapest, but not so. The absolute cheapest source that I found was Summit. The most expensive source was TMI themselves followed closely by everyone else!! Summit was cheaper plus summit had "free" shipping. Pricing on the seats varied as much as $600 (for two bucket seats and the addititonal brackets). Man, that's more variation than I paid for the trailblazer seats!!!!
Later this spring when I get the seats installed (which will also require more new carpet), I will post the new look in my build thread. These seats are somewhat thinner with low backs, all of which should allow a little more room.(I guess that means you never get finished "building" one of these trucks!!!

The pics show the existing seats and the lack of leg room.
