90's Silvardo split 60.40 installed in a '67 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

67ChevyRedneck · 11-14-2005, 10:14 AM

I had time to fit my "new" seats into my truck this weekend. I got them from palf70step and bigorange provided a driverside seat track for me. The install was super easy, except the middle mount was tricky. I had to bend the back part out just a hair so the seat sat level and because there are funky ribs in the middle of the floor where the mount is, I had to grind it a little bit for clearance. The front of the mount is going to require some sort of spacer about 2" long. Haven't figured out what to use there yet. I know y'all love pics, so here goes. That's my little helper in the 3rd pic.

The seats were a little nasty so my uncle offered to pressure wash them for me. They came so clean I was in shock. Except for a little bit of fading and a little wear, they look almost brand new. I love em. With the lokar shifter and the new seats, the truck is comfy as anything.

Looks good. I just got a set from another member and I need all of the track and mounting brackets for mine

They look good. Glad it worked out for you. I used a long grade 8 bolt and a piece of steel pipe (1" I believe was the diameter) cut to length for that front center bracket. Originally I just had a stack of thick washers before the pipe.

Those seats are kinda like us....a good pressure wash and we clean up good enough to run the town.

Looks good. Just get them recovered

Those are really comfortable seats and a good fit for our trucks. I have the buckets in my Blazer and 60-40 in my flatbed. I like the fit and firm feel much better than the '95 and newer seats...and I have tried them too.
I think I have a pic of a set covered in leather!!! Nope...it's gone, but here a pic of a new takeout set I found/and sold this year.
I want a set like this in red/burgandy.

Thanks Chris, but this board won't even let me look at the For Sale Board without paying the "Vendor's Fees" ($25 ea month or $280 @ year). That's a little high for me at this time running a one-man operation with no web page or catalog to refer/link to.
