Re: junk yard seats
I have ones out of a 92 firebird in mine. I just bolted them to the floor. They do sit a lot lower then stock but that's the way I wanted it.

I have a 40/20/40 with the jumper seat in the middle out of an 06 in mine! I love them and they were only 200 bucks!

Re: junk yard seats
A lots of people use the 99 and newer style chevy truck seat in this style truck I tried it but it didn't fit me, but I am 6'3 and 369#. A tilt colum might help I've since added tilts to my trucks or plans for tilts in the ones that don't yet have them. Jim

Re: junk yard seats
The late 80's to early 90's 60/40 split with the fold down driver's arm rest. They fit right in and are the correct ride height and width. That's what I was looking for until I happened upon a set of Buckets out of a '70 Blazer. love them but will not pass on the other if I ever find one for the right price. (So my lady can sit right next to me)
