Anyone use snowden seats in their trucks?
Thoughts and reviews?

I’ve been curious about this too. I have been seeing a lot of their products lately and would like to hear some reviews.

Price for a Snowden seat is pretty high IMO, but I've never sat in one. Maybe it's the best ever.
joesscamaro - I used a guy in SC (not too far from the NC/SC border) who was reasonable. He repaired my original 63 custom comfort seat and I'm really happy with the results. LINK TO MORE PICS and a VIDEO.

At the time I had my bench seat done, Glide Engineering was the seat frame that everyone was pushing me to go to since my bench seat frame had seen better days (just about all of the springs were broken) - not to mention they are local to me. Ron Mangus, who had done some work for me on previous builds, advised me to bring him the bare original frame (fixed where it needed to be) with all of the springs removed. He used multi-density foam instead of springs to build up the seat and back, and then covered it in leather for a lot less than just the frame from Glide at the time. It might be worth checking with a local upholsterer as another option.

The snowden seats are beautiful! I wish it was in my budget for something like that.

Jay--can you pass along the contact info for the person that did your seat? You can PM me if you prefer. Looks great...that looks like what I want to do...
