Seat suggestions
The '68 bench and woodshop console have both given up the ghost this winter.
What are you using for a Suburban/Tahoe/Escalade/Denali donor? I'm not hung up on powered vs. manual, heat, integrated belts etc. I'm leaning towards more recent stuff just so I don't have to recover a worn seating surface. Do the newer console/jump seats fit the high hump floor at all? Thanks. Loren

Re: Seat suggestions
This thread may help you. I know it helped me.
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=613744 One thing to keep in mind is many later model seats are deeper front to back and if your tall you may find yourself cramped while driving.

Re: Seat suggestions
I replaced my seats a long time ago. But I did put in 1998 or 1999 Pontiac Bonneville Gray leather buckets. They are nine way adjustable if I remember correctly. You can google them. Real comfortable. My younger brother made a console for the truck.

Re: Seat suggestions
Don't know if you want bucket seats but in my 68 I used 2014 VW GTI seats. Great seats. They were kind a dark gray but I used spray bomb for fabric to change them into black.
Couple of pics before and after. |

Re: Seat suggestions
This seat photo is a member here but, my memory can't recall who it was. It was the inspiration for the seat I built for my Burban. They are an optional seat for 92 to 96 ford pickups. Width wise they are exactly the same as our seats.
