I searched the topic but the results were too vast. So bacically Ive got the typical torn up k10 bench seat, and its not cutting it. Bascially I wanna see what alternatives people are putting in their trucks, either a cutom job or seets outta something else lets see em.

Re: Seats...

with the dodge intrepid seats, its almost like stock.i got really lucky with them.

as for the 99 suburban seat, it mkes you feel like your sitting up higher then a stock bench seat,but your really not.leg room is great.im 5'10 or so and i fit them perfect.
the intrepid seats are still on the adjustable rails with the bar up front so it kinda works for a range of heighth people.
the suburban seats are adjustable as well, i just havent hooked the power up.

when i looked for seats for the truck, i basically looked for a simple nice bucket seat with rails that were flat or easily modified on he bottom to mount

Re: Seats...

I hear the bench seat from a mid to late 90's chevy truck basicly bolt right in after you drill a couple new holes. Thats what I am going to use on mine. Its a much nicer looking bench seat also.
