I have an ok '71 c20 fleetside i would like to fix up. I thought i would start with the interior. I don't much like the old bench seats that are in the truck. Could someone please tell me what i can do, or where i can look. I'd like something like bucket seats with a fold down middle so it can be used as a seat or fold down for armrest. Thanks.

Welcome to the board!

In '67 and '68, the optional bucket seats were like you describe...the middle seat can be folded down as an armrest, and underneath it is a toolbox. these same seats are also found in some 70's Dodge trucks.

my dad's '96 Ford F-150 has some seats like that as well, the middle seat folds down and has a little organizer and cupholders on the back.

the seats from a newer dodge ram quad cab will work also, they have a pretty nice middle seat that folds down into a huge console, and they also have integral seatbelts.

good luck!

Has anyone had any luck for bucket seats from a pick and pull place. How hard is it to replace the original bench seat with a bucket seat combo?
