Re: Bucket List
you might be right, i haven't (can't) make up my mind... i think the price surprised me after pricing having the bench redone.. on the wrong side of 60, us kids and our rice idea;s, next i guess i need a spoiler and a fart can muffler..
my back may not thank me either,, |

Re: Bucket List

If they where 1 solid color,,they would look better..

Re: Bucket List
You need to factor in your size too. Many of those seats are built for smaller waist sizes than some of us guys have.

Re: Bucket List
thanks for the input.. 73gmc454, i just checked out you build.. sweet.. still not sure which way to go, the bench is more old school.. the bucket may be a better ride..

Re: Bucket List
The right bucket seat offers alot more support then a bench seat could ever offer. That being said, stay away from any aftermarket seat made in china. You get what you pay for... Ive seen chinese made seats that have snapped in half during an accident, Which can cause you to break your back.
Maybe look for some buckets out of a Newer style car?
