Those look like the seats that Foose from Overhaulin' put into that old yellow/gold Chevy pickup on that one show. I don't have any pictures handy, but the layout looks almost exactly the same. I like 'em. Not bad for the price. Wonder if it's a traight bolt up? Nice find.

The thing about JC Whitney, IMHO, is that they can have the highest quality, name-brand product on the same page as the "As Seen On T.V." look alike, and you'll never be able to decipher the differences from the description given.

Good lookin seats.

The project truck I was talking about is called Butterscorched. It's a '53 GMC and pictures can be found here:

Here's a picture for reference - the design is really close. I 've always wanted to know where these seats came from :|

That's so true. I bought a 4 into 1 head pipe for an old Honda 750 I had years ago....turned out to be a Hooker Header. So you just never know.

There's an adapter kit that's recommended for an additional $49.95

Just noticed that a minute ago - that's a good price for the seats shown. I agree I wish they'd give more information, but ... ah well! Wouldn't mind getting a pair in tan. Hell, they look great. Bet they're comfortable too.

Iceman7642 · 06-30-2005, 07:49 PM

Now all i need is some cash flow that i can blow. But im saving for a ring instead, which is more important!! Maybe i can get my dad to buy them for me...

Well I just sent an e-mail to the guy that did Butterscorched and requested info on the seats. When and if I get a reply back I will post it.

I can't tell from looking at the pics but I've got two extremely important words for you..."HEAD RESTRAINTS" They are a must. I've been living with 2.5 years of neck/shoulder pain and have permanent hearing damage as a result of being rear ended in my 71.

The hearing issue is actually from nerve damage due to whiplash. I didn't even know that was possible until after many visits to specialists.
