MO I need a '68 bench seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 02-17-2010, 01:21 PM

I'm looking for a bench seat out of a '68 truck.
This will need to be nice enough to install new reproduction upholstery on.
I'm trying to keep from purchasing all new foam.
I know the '68 seat brackets are different from '69-'72 brackets,... so I'd really like to find an original '68 seat.

Let me know what you guys have out there.
Preferably close to Missouri, so I can come pick it up.
Thanks.

So guessing a '67 bench isn't what your after huh?

**lolife99** · 02-17-2010, 05:50 PM

I don't know,... are they the same?
Do you have any pics?
Especially the bottom side that would show the tracks.
Also,... how much?

I Have one from a 26.000 Orig mile truck. Its perfect! I changed to buddy buckets. To bad your so far away. This seat is like new! But I am sure shipping would be to high. Sorry man.

I wish you were closer.

**lolife99** · 02-17-2010, 11:43 PM

Rugman,...
do you have any pics of your bench seat?

**too much stuff** · 02-18-2010, 12:27 AM

Parting a 68 right now. The flip forward seat is in decent shape. Would you have any way to get it from northern MN?

70LonghornCST · 02-18-2010, 12:28 AM

I have a really nice one that has solid springs and foam. I'd give it to you if you lived near me.

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 07:01 AM

All the good stuff is too far away.
Thanks guys.

Brad · 02-18-2010, 12:17 PM

I have a black leather and tweed one that I want to sell. It's reeeeeeeeally nice, but probably too far away and too much $$$.

OK thanks.

C20-67_N_MO · 02-18-2010, 03:52 PM

Okay I hope these pics help ya.

Two under the seat trying to show the tracks and then the front.

Very dusty at the body shop. lol

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 06:51 PM

I think that must be a different seat than my 68 takes.
Mine has 4 total holes on each seat bracket (that bolt to the floor).
Not one on each end.

That looks like a mid 70s seat and brackets.

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 07:15 PM

That's what I thought.

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 07:16 PM

I found a set of buddy buckets for $500 locally.
(so no shipping)
I just haven't had a chance to look at them.

It honestly could be!

As it was sitting in place with like only one or two bolts holding it in place when I bought the truck.

Rugman · 02-18-2010, 10:48 PM

I will take some pictures of the 68 seat. How do I post them?

**lolife99** · 02-18-2010, 10:55 PM

That would be great!
I may still be interested.

Look here for posting pics:

Keith, I am in the springfield area, I will look at mine and make sure it is in good shape. It has been out and in my shop for a few years. and currently has one of the seat covers on it I never removed after having it for 15-20 years. I swapped seats also.
