Can anyone suggest seats for my 51

maybe someone out there has made the conversion, If so , what did you use??
I don;t think I want buckets, maybe Bench, or 60/40 split.

Thanks Jerry

Hey man graduated from Amityville HS 1955,That tells you I have a little age on the old bones and a little well allright no so little belly. I have seen many combos and types of seats used. There is not a lot of room in one of these trucks too start with so the size of the seats was a critical item to me. I went with a Rod Doors bench seat. It is the right width for the truck,I did not chop the top because I wanted to raise the seat up a little to make it easier on my back. With the saet raised 1" and all the way back it seems to give me adiqiut leg room. Have not driven it yet only sat in it so I cant give a final ans on the seat. Were painting the fire wall and door jambs this week,while this is happening and the cab is off were finishing the engine, gas lines etc. and hope to fire it up for the first time. Ed
