bucket seat identification - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**kidatheart** · 05-26-2020, 10:53 PM

I came across a set of rough bucket seats, and I am having trouble deciding what they originally came out of. I searched and found some good information and pictures, but I am not sure if mine match any of them. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

The easiest way to tell 69/70s from 71/72s is the back sides taper in more and the scroll work runs down the center. I feel the backs look thinner (69/70) to my eyes. It may just be they are less bolstered

Thanks to all of you. The seats were in a 1948 GMC-they were way ahead of their time!! Thanks again.
