seats
has anyone tried to use car buckets like from a camaro , Chevelle , elcamino or something like that ? I realize the track wont just bolt in , but are they close enough that you could use new foam and covers for a truck on the frames ? seems the general used a lot of the same parts for several different things back then and the car stuff is a little cheaper and easier to find at reasonable prices . probably wishful thinking I know , but I have never had a set that I could take apart and compare before

Re: seats
Not even close in size or shape . also the Camaro seats would sit very loow in your truck .

Re: seats
thanks grumpy that's what I was wondering more than anything the size and shape . I thought if they were close maybe you could swap truck foam and covers . I kind of figured if I used them I would have to make platforms for the height .

Re: seats
I hear you. That is exactly why I will be looking for something in the junk yard.
