Re: Seats

The best fit would be the factory buckets with the center console/seat depending on if the lean back is up or down.
My second choice would probably be the seats out of a standard cab SS with buckets. The extended cab seats may lean back too far or have too thick of lean backs.

I have a plain bench out of an 88 standard cab 4x4 and it sits great but sits high and I look like I am 6'8" tall sitting in the seat and I'm 5'10" on a good day.

Re: Seats

You could try and find a set of "Buddy Buckets"...they came in 67-68 trucks....the small center seat back rest flips down into an arm rest and there is storage below the bottom cushion..

Kinda spendy....but very cool!

Unhappy Re: Seats

Not sure what years the Dodge seats are out of. Found these at a swap meet, so I have no idea what they came out of. Sorry. This is what they looked like when I got them, only worse.

Back in the late 70's and early 80's those seats were an option in the high end trim Dodge trucks. For instance they came in the Lil Red Express truck or with the Warlock package or the Macho Package 4x4trucks like the one used on the old "Simon and Simon" show from the early 80's. I know this because I worked at Chrysler dealers form 1975 to 2000..

Re: Seats

Hmm, those Dodge seats look good. I had a friend you had a 60/40 from a Ford, late 80's/early 90's, and it looked and fit great. Heck if I can remember what is was from though.

Re: Seats

im gonna go with low back buckets out of a early 90 silverado. something like this but i believe those are out of a suburban and that back comes up higher. I was at the junk yards today and saw about 50 bench, 60/40, and bucket seats in this style for 25 bucks a piece
