will it fit? seat question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

xRAY76 · 02-10-2015, 10:29 PM

another question for the pros...

i have a 60 c10, that has a later model bench seat (74-86)
originally i wanted to go back to a deluxe 60 seat, but thats been proven hard to find around here.

anywho...

i have the chance to grab a 2000 GMC bucket seats with shoulder belt, and center small seat (like a buddy bucket), i know i have seen pix on here with these seats in our trucks, but my question is, how well do they fit?

the guy is parting out a wreck, and wants an offer of course. they are black and look in decent condition, the truck does'nt have doors so they have seen some weather. what should i pay?

thanks

In the early 2000's I paid 400 bucks for a primo condition 1994 Chevy pickup deluxe bench.seat. It had the adjustable head rests and a fold down armrest. It was not a split but rather one full seat.(which I really wanted) I got it at a salvage yard. The kind where you don't get to pull it yourself. That thing was super comfortable. I considered it expensive but worth it. .

Around $100 is what I can get them for but it is black.

i was shocked, i went and saw them today and still couldnt get a number out of him...
make an offer, make an offer

so i said i will start at $50 for everything, and he said SOLD!!!

so even if i dont like them when i get them home, it wont be a big deal

i bought these because i love the ones in my avalanche but for a six foot, 250lb guy it left me feeling cramped up and sittin to tall in the truck

I'm 6'4" and have leather buckets out of a 2003 Tahoe with a jumpsuit out of a 2014 Silverado. all of it fits together well and is the right width for the truck and are very comfortable. The biggest issue I have with them is that when I drive my truck for a long period of time (3+ hours) it can start to feel a little cramped in the cab. This should get a little better once the tank is moved out of the cab.
Honestly, I don't have much of a problem with them, granted I'm a thin guy, just tall. Leg room could be better, but it really is not that much different than where the stock seat in mine was.

Also for what it's worth, $50 seems like a killer deal. I know I got an absolutely screaming deal on my leather buckets at $125 for the two, I also got lucky and they had an aftermarket heated seat kit already installed!

yes leg room was a must for me. i loved the seats but seemed to big in the truck with me in them so i seen a guy at a local carshow that used 1988- 1994 chevy bench seat and that seat cured all my problems hieght wise and leg room, love the seat going to have it recover to match my interior.

Be careful with those side airbags! If they deploy, it might knock off your gas cap

@White Knuckle garage

thats the only thing im worried about...im 6'-4'' and about 300lbs
i dont have bad leg room issues, but i do sit tall in the cab with my present bench seat. i figured with these buckets i would sit a little lower.

did you guys use the rails that came on the new seats?
or make your own stationary/non adjustable mounts
