I told him I wanted to give him something for all these seats - He said how about all four seats for $50.

I know it may look totally 80's, but I'm fine with that.

Procars with a custom console. By far some of the most comfy seats in anything, well worth the big pricetag. Increased leg room, back support, and since I've had 3 bones removed from my back, its strangely one of the few vehicles I can do longer hauls in.

Not sure what it came out of but it is comfortable. The back is a 60/40 split.

Here's my seat in the '65. (disregard the "go kart steering wheel", have a stock deluxe steering wheel to put on it)

travz500 · 10-31-2012, 09:22 PM

I somehow missed this one. I have to agree.....I'm a big fan of the houndstooth as well as buddy buckets.

Anyone ever try some of those newer silverado seats Like verdell's '95 seats with original 60s style upholstery?? That's what I wanna do and I wanna see if it's been done so I can see what they might look like...

I think the pink Recaros are from a tacky patio.

Mine are out of a '66 GMC. There are a couple of Jimmy owners on the boards that have these seats. The 67-68 chevy buddy buckets are more prevalent, but the center seat on those does not come up as high as the GMC model.

Grizz1963 · 12-22-2012, 11:18 AM

Another useful thread.

HOW WIDE and HOW DEEP, and TALL are these bench seats ?

The reason I am asking is so that I know what size Mexican blanket to buy...... Nicola wants one.

My plan is to diamond stitch one to a regular cheapish seatcover and then fit, rather than drape it over and always having it distort.

Here is the seat from the truck I am investigating at the moment..... reupholstered in Snakeskin fabric.

I actually quite like it.

GMC66 · 11-27-2012, 01:33 PM

MisterC, are those 67-72 seats? Did the seat base line up good? I know the 66 GMC came with buddy buckets, wasn't sure if 67-72 seat base mounts up well. Nice seats!

They are the 66 GMC buddy buckets. Mounts lined up like they were made for it.

Here is a couple from recent builds...

seanberinger · 11-27-2012, 02:20 PM

Anyone know what's good in a late model bench that would fit a 1965 C10 60/40 split, solid, or with a folding arm/ center console. No buckets cause I like my girl to snuggle up to me in the truck lol
