Hell man I think just about anything fits in these trucks. But try to refrain from putting anything furd in it. Even if it is a big comfy seat. I personally think I'm gonna run low, high back buckets. But the new Chevy trucks and 'Burban's have really nice seats but may set you back a pretty penny. Maybe you could find one wrecked!

Okay well now I know what they came from I've gotta duplicate them somehow???? (evil grin) or find some that look alike. Yea that bed looks dumb. But NSANE68!!! on this site has the same bed on his, only shaved. It has 20" Elite Barbs. 'Bags. Supercharger. Hell a whole slew of things. Check it out when u get a chance.

I think those seats are aftermarket buckets. They kind of look like a set of recarro's to me.

I snapped up a 91 Lumina APV and ripped the seats out of it and put them in my 72. I love 'em, comfy, look good.....but I with the previous owner of the van hadn't taken the armrest off the co-pilot seat and lost it.......they would look much better if they both had armrests.

rigo · 01-24-2003, 11:51 AM

they look like a recaro to me to........i've got a set in my pontiac...had them recovered and the head rests removed.....i win best interior alot with them.....you can find recaro's in some of the older mustangs and camaros...early- mid 80's models...they were offered as oem equipment in some of their packages...

Looks like switchs for bags or hydraulics

If you want nice seats like that, try Volkswagon Scirroco's or GTI's from 82( i think ) and up. Reccaro seats were stock. Should be easy enough to find as well.

yellowgmc · 01-24-2003, 04:27 PM

that truck is bagged. that's what the switches are for.

Scat makes some seats that look very similar to those seats. They aren't cheap tho.
