I've got a Choo Choo Customs seat. They're based in Iowa, where I bought my truck from. Very, very comfy.

*dtlilly* · 12-06-2003, 01:15 AM

Factory buckets and cup holder console in the 71 GMC

Factory bench now (have factory buckets and seatbelt holder console waiting for brackets) in the 72 Chevy.

Puttin' a ''forgive me please'' LOL!! '85 Ford bench that had 58k 2nd owner. A guy at work rolled it. Goes good with my paint inside. The best was the price $ 50.00!!!!

**BIG ORANGE** · 12-06-2003, 01:33 AM

Well the HD truck will have a new 95 model 60/40 with fold down center console!
And my BB truck has a 93 model 60/40 seat!

MandarinSixSeven · 12-06-2003, 07:53 AM

Jeep grand cherokee, 96 i believe

JayDubBlazer · 12-06-2003, 08:27 AM

Jeep grand cherokee 99 with a center console from a 1998 f*rd truck. And as soon as I get back I will have 2002 chevy seats fron and rear

MandarinSixSeven, How did you attach the Grand Cherokee seats? Looks like you have the original levers on the base.

lukecp · 12-06-2003, 05:30 PM

I have a stock GM bench, re-covered in black vinyl. It is actually very comfortable...getting a bit sunk in on the driver's side from my fat a$$ though

Makes the truck comfy to ride in on long trips....unless it is hot....my back always gets soaked with sweat b/c the vinyl dosen't breate worth crap.

I plan to just get it re-covered with new foam and a black cloth seat cover eventually. It is just soo comfy and squishy.....not ultra-firm like most seats out of newer vehicles

68CST327 · 12-06-2003, 05:30 PM

Haha, you've got an Octopus on your seat! I've got one of those in my truck

spencra · 12-06-2003, 07:07 PM

I love bucket seats but I want to keep my truck as original as possible. To each his own though.

If you have your original bench seat you should definately hold onto it in case you change your mind. Or if you happen to sell it, having the original seat adds to the appeal.

68CST327 · 12-06-2003, 07:17 PM

Oops, I forgot to post a picture of my truck. I have the original bucket seats:

72MARIO · 12-06-2003, 08:22 PM

Is the CB original ?

Just Kidding.

Project1970 · 12-07-2003, 03:00 AM

Second-row out of a '99 Suburban. Still tilts forward, too.

Nice and comfy.

Edit: And at $150, a lot cheaper than most options!

Brad · 12-07-2003, 03:20 AM

I've got Honda seats for sale in my signature. Can't ship though.

D-Money · 12-07-2003, 04:26 AM

Until just recently I have had the front power bucket seats of a '02 chevy truck, but just recently sold them for some leather middle bench 40/60 seats out of an '03 suburban. I couldn't stand having only two seats in the cab! They fit perfectly

jhwkns · 12-07-2003, 12:43 PM

I got mine from a mid 80's Olds wagon. I forget what the model was. They aren't very big overall, and the seat backs are fairly thin, which leaves plenty of room. I sh!tcanned the headrests because I dont like the looks of them in these trucks. After I experimented with seat location and height I built stands to mount them on. They're real comfortable, especially for freebies. I plan on buying some ready-made covers and tailoring, and re-sewing them to fit a little better than they come out of the box. (el cheapo deluxe)

8.1PWR · 12-07-2003, 01:22 PM

I wanted to install a set of seats from a newer Chev with the intergrated seatbelts because I don't have the shoulder harness seatbelt as I see in some of the pictures. Has anyone done this swap? What kind of modification did you have to do(ie build brackets etc.)?
I still have the stock seat with the line setting ticket in the springs. wish I could get it out without destroying it worse than it is.

D-Money · 12-07-2003, 03:09 PM

I have put the '02 chevy truck bucket seats in my truck with the console and they fit perfectly. The only thing you have to do is drill 4 holes under each seat then you are going to need to build a small bracket for support under the cab, but that is optional and really easy. I have one complaint about them and that is if you are really tall then there is limited leg room but I am sure that everybody is aware of that becasue all of these cabs are the same. You can also still leave the gas tank for this configuation.

john8746 · 12-08-2003, 10:35 AM

HOP THIS WORKS

67_SS396 · 12-08-2003, 10:52 AM

Here's the seats I just installed in the '67. They are from a '72 Chevelle and are very comfortable. I ditched the headrests as I don't care for the look either. All that was needed to install them to the correct height was 2" square tubing. Once I decide on a color for the truck, they will be recovered to match.
