Anybody have pictures of cool bench seats? non-custom. Wondering what kind of seats look cool in our trucks.

99 Suburban second row leather seats in my 71 C20. Got the idea from Putter, so credit goes to him:

Nice truck and seats. It looks like you located in Westchester. Im in Inglewood and I work down by the Home depot on Jefferson in Playa del Rey. Nice to see some one from the area.

That is the very Home Depot I shop at.......not in Westchester though.....other side of the Airport.

I kinda got my eye out for a late 60's early 70's bench with the build in arm rest that folds down. ( like my granpa's old 4 dr oldsmobile had) Probly never find one these days that ain't rotted out, but who knows. My neighbor had a mid to late 70s bench that the back was much shallower than the original seat and gave a little more leg room, problem was the back of your head was a little closer to the back window. He switched to a 90's seat that is way more comfy with a built in head rest. I'm kinda partial to bench seats and lookin for a lady who appreciates them and the trucks there attached to.

Not trying to hijack the thread: I haven't started on my seat install yet, except to know that generally, the seat will fit in there. Too darn hot here right now for any driveway "rasslin" with this project.

I have an '04 Buick Park Ave front seat set, which is leather, dual electric buckets, with center arm rest drop-down console mounted onto the driver's seat. I bought it off flea-bay, primarily because of the built-in attached seatbelt & shoulder harness setup. New Caddys come with an identical seat set, but they're embroidered with the wreath logo.

Should be a comfy ride, once I finally get motivated to actually do it. I know it will take some fabrication of bracketry, because there are only 3 attaching bolt points on the seat tracks, with a little "hook" type gizmo for the 4th point -- rear outboard on both seats -- looks like it's made to ease assembly line drop-in, into some type of slotted receiver, which probably was attached to the car floor pan. Didn't know (or have enough sense) to look at that in the wrecked car while I was picking up the seats.

Will take some photos, when it's going in. Later, tho.
