Question about Bucket Seats
Anybody have any good info on what bucket seats make a good fit in a 65? I am 6ft so they have to have a pretty thin back not to push me too close to the steering wheel. I want to find some that have headrest and some side support if possible.
Pictures would be nice too :-) |

Re: Question about Bucket Seats
One thing I've noticed in the 88-98 Chevy trucks seats is that you sit higher in bucket seats. I'm 6'4" so I've never really felt that comfortable in them. The bench and 60-40 seats have been more comfortable for me. You feel like you sink in a little on the bench where the buckets kinda hold you up more.
