I am looking to get rid of the original bench seat in my 67 and i would like for anyone's help in letting me know what types of seats from other chevy trucks i can use would like a bucket bench or something with a fold down console ..thanks

**mr48chev** · 11-28-2009, 10:36 PM

The best fit would be the factory buckets with the center console/seat depending on if the lean back is up or down.
My second choice would probably be the seats out of a standard cab SS with buckets. The extended cab seats may lean back too far or have too thick of lean backs.

I have a plain bench out of an 88 standard cab 4x4 and it sits great but sits high and I look like I am 6'8" tall sitting in the seat and I'm 5'10" on a good day.

supersean1978 · 11-28-2009, 11:25 PM

i also saw so guys using dodge seats if i can just get some ideas with the littlest modifications that would be great ... the problem i have is my 4 year old daughter has no place to sit and she loves riding in the 67 with her daddy need help fast

rico7769 · 11-28-2009, 11:31 PM

got any pics of the bench seat? Kinda early, but I might be interested in helping you get rid of it when the time comes. Ours is kinda beaten up.

supersean1978 · 11-28-2009, 11:59 PM

the bench seat in their now is really beat..but if someone had the money and time hell i would give it to them..

Rack Man · 11-29-2009, 12:57 AM

You could try and find a set of "Buddy Buckets"...they came in 67-68 trucks....the small center seat back rest flips down into an arm rest and there is storage below the bottom cushion..

Kinda spendy....but very cool!

OhioDan · 11-29-2009, 04:30 AM

There's also the Dodge version of the buddy buckets that are a lot less $$$$.

GASWAGON · 11-29-2009, 03:41 PM

I am using 2007-09 chevy factory buckets and fold down console. They fit great and alot more comfortable than my buddy buckets.

bigguy69 · 11-29-2009, 05:15 PM

what year dodge did you get those out of ohiodan?

supersean1978 · 11-29-2009, 05:39 PM

71meangreenc10 · 11-29-2009, 08:24 PM

99 Dodge ram , 4 brackets of angle iron 6 inches long, no drilling of the floor, = great fit. As soon as the tilt gets here,,,,fun fun fun....

Can you post a picture with the center console up?

Thanks,

OhioDan · 01-07-2010, 08:43 PM

Not sure what years the Dodge seats are out of. Found these at a swap meet, so I have no idea what they came out of. Sorry. This is what they looked like when I got them, only worse.

MrBlue · 01-10-2010, 10:17 PM

Greetings, I was wondering if anyone had put a 2002 or newer Dodge Ram seat in a 72 c-10? Thanks, MrBlue

Back in the late 70's and early 80's those seats were an option in the high end trim Dodge trucks. For instance they came in the Lil Red Express truck or with the Warlock package or the Macho Package 4x4trucks like the one used on the old "Simon and Simon" show from the early 80's. I know this because I worked at Chrysler dealers form 1975 to 2000..

timski69gmc · 01-11-2010, 11:35 PM

Hmm, those Dodge seats look good. I had a friend you had a 60/40 from a Ford, late 80's/early 90's, and it looked and fit great. Heck if I can remember what is was from though.

panic66 · 01-12-2010, 12:07 AM

im gonna go with low back buckets out of a early 90 silverado. something like this

but i believe those are out of a suburban and that back comes up higher. I was at the junk yards today and saw about 50 bench, 60/40, and bucket seats in this style for 25 bucks a piece

Thanks for the picture, I beleive I will put a set of these on my junk yard list. I have a "67 small window so I'm thinking those seats will look even better in my cab.

crites_72 · 01-12-2010, 11:49 AM

71meangreen any pics of ur brackets?

**Already Gone** · 01-12-2010, 05:44 PM

Here is a pic of seats from a 2000 and up Chevy pickup.

supersean1978 · 01-12-2010, 06:06 PM

Already Gone, what did you have to change or modify for those seats to fit your truck?
