Seat Question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 10-18-2007, 10:19 PM

I was looking in the LMC book andi noticed that they do not offer seat covers with arm rests...Im sure that ive seen trucks with fold down arm rests and the full bench seats so the question that begs to be asked is did GM offer ( especially in the higher end models ) an armrest or a split bench seat as a factory option?

**Captkaos** · 10-19-2007, 12:18 PM

Not on 73-87(91) trucks.
BTW, we have upholstery kits availible for these trucks also at a comparable price to LMC.

ORC10 -

I've been seriously lookin at mid to late 90's Grand Marquis seats. I know they're from that F company. But, Low-Backed with low, adjustable headrest, Electric, overstuffed Leather, and look to be a near perfect width. And has 2 fold down armrests - allowing for 3 across seating. AND, PnP has them for less than $50 bucks!!

(I think I just talked myself into it...)

Kinda like these. But with lower head rests.

those are real nice im more of a cloth guy but ill tell ya what i saw a set on here from anew F150 someone installed and then my buddy bought a F150 which i sat in and those are great seats although they would cost a decent amount

**Captkaos** · 10-20-2007, 01:45 PM

Are you looking for inexpensive (donor) or a new seat?

I have see a 73-87 with a 88-90 bench with the small armrest in it. Didn't look too bad either. This is the best pic I have of it. I was looking at it for purchase but it was too damaged

**old Rusty C10** · 10-20-2007, 11:06 PM

that would work too and the upholstery from that wouldnt look bad if you put the silverado door panels with it thanks Capt youve made my mind up for me!

FWIW that's a 91+ seat, it has headrests.

Anbody know how much of a pain these would be to install? A cousin gave me a seat exactly like this yesterday.

Also, do you guys know where I can get a new cover for this kind of seat? The one I was given is blue, and the rest of my interior is red.

I sell seat covers for those seats. For the 88-95 version it is $229.95 for cloth and $199.99 for vinyl. Shipping cost not included and I will have to check on the headrests also.

**old Rusty C10** · 10-21-2007, 06:36 PM

Bummer! Ever tried mounting them?

killthewabbit · 10-21-2007, 07:43 PM

Chris, I'll give you a yell if I get this one mounted up successfully. I don't remember if it has headrests or not.
