Seat replacement for 66 stepside!!

I'm re working a 66 short stepside and I have see many pics of these trucks with non orig. seats. I need to know what seats some of you guys are swaping in these trucks. I am finding most seats are 4"-8" narrower than mine. But there are seats out there that are wide as these trucks, I need to know where to start looking. HELP!!!!

You guys are great, I had been looking at 73-4-5 and they aren't wide enough. I'll look at later mods and find one. Thanks again. EW
