Help!! In Need of A Bench Seat

I just started restoring a 67 Chevy C10. It has bucket seats out of a modern impala and they don't fit in the truck and are really ugly. I want to install bench seat but I can't seem to find any used springs online and there are not a lot of aftermarket bench seats. LMC has a couple of seat kits that are decently priced but I really don't want to go through the work of putting one together. So my question is it more cost effective to have an upholstery shop build me a seat from the ground up, try to find used springs or just buy a seat/kit online.

Re: Help!! In Need of A Bench Seat

I bought mine and had a similar dilemma - 80's style (ugly) Blazer buckets. If you look you can probably find one like I did - $75 for a good donor bench, 67-68 and I had it reupholstered... there is cost there, but I am very happy having the stock bench seat..

Re: Help!! In Need of A Bench Seat

When my 68 was still road worthy, it was my favorite vehicle to drive with it's stock bench seat.
Hope you can make connection with yard bill mentioned!!!

Make sure he has them, he has crushed a lot of the older cars for the newer cars. He doesn't update car-part.com that often eithor.
