60/40 Bench Seat Price - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

dave2953 · 02-21-2007, 02:58 PM

A neighbor of mine has a 91 or 92 Chevy 1500 that he is going to junk. The 60/40 bench seat in it is in great condition (no tears, rips, not faded, etc) He said he would take $150 for it. Is this about the going rate, or does it seem high? I can try and get a pic if it will help. Thanks in advance for your input.

Leather or cloth, leather ones around here go for $500.00

dave2953 · 02-21-2007, 03:09 PM

It's cloth.

**John Fabris** · 02-21-2007, 03:10 PM

I have brought two sets of those seats, one for $100, other for $150, so it seems pretty fair to me.

dave2953 · 02-21-2007, 03:17 PM

I think I'll get it from him. I got a quote to have my factory bench recovered and the broken springs repaired and they wanted $225. I imagine this seat will be more comfortable than my repaired original. Don't the 60/40 seats have 4 brackets instead of two? Guess I'll have to drill some holes if I get it.

I'd steer clear of that seat if I were you! Just forget about it...
Where exactly is it again? I'll be right over!

That's not a bad deal if it's in great shape and a good color for you. I've had three trucks that I bought that seat for and got a smokin' deal each time, but they're hard to come by. I think each time I bought one it was $75, but if I found a real nice one now I wouldn't hesitate upping the ante ..

The driver's side sits level on the floor and you'll need to drill out 3 of the holes for it if I remember right. You'll need to add an 1 1/2" spacer for the inside mount on the pass side. I bolted a piece of 2X8 to the floor and then bolted the seat mount to it.

I've had a late 80's 60/40 in my truck for years. It's sits in the truck well and is not too cushy or firm. worth the $$ in my opinion.

if hes gonna junk the truck id offer him $50 for it

dave2953 · 02-21-2007, 05:52 PM

I tried that, but didn't have any luck. I figured I could get it for cheap since he's getting rid of the truck anyway, but he said he would need $150. I decided to buy it from him and I'll post pics when I get it home.

**PICKMUP** · 02-22-2007, 12:38 AM

That sounds about right. I just bought another set for the same price. They fit good.
The low back buckets from that era are also cool seats.

brak · 02-22-2007, 01:01 AM

I keep finding them around here for $50.

it's the buckets that are impossible to find.

dan42 · 02-22-2007, 01:29 AM

I have some buckets that I got from a '96 Chevy extended cab, and they are pretty comfortable, but don't look right - I'm having a guy re-do by original bench, and try to spoon out the seats a little, but I'm not sure if it's going to work. Does anyone have any ideas on what is comfortable and looks fairly original? I have a '70 3/4 ton).
