Post pics of your Longbed Trucks!! No short stuffs allowed!!

I think the PO said he got the seats out of a mid-80's Blazer or Suburban (possibly an '84). I also do not know if the mounting brackets that he used are stock to the seats. Not sure where the console came from, to my eye, it looks very similar to the stock 67-72 C-10 consoles. It is possible that it all came from an '87, as that is the year of the current engine and tranny (350/350). I haven't investigated any further.

I can say this setup fits pretty well in the cab, from side-to-side. The seats are comfortable (I like the arm rests), somewhat adjustable from front to back, and provide adequate leg room for me. I am about 5' 9" tall, and when driving the seat height is good, not too low, not too high.

I have the original saddle colored bench seat, which is in fairly decent shape, but I may sell it. I like these, just have to clean them up, they smell like they just came out of the salvage yard.

Also, while I know I won't be going "resto" on this truck, the type of cloth covering on these seats kinda bugs me. It makes them stand out, like: "something isn't right here, but I can't quite put my finger on it".

jsprengler,
Sweet. Don't ever get a wild hair and start taking that truck apart to try and "build" it into something that it isn't. You'll wind up tearing apart a perfectly good truck, which so many do, and then wind up w/a bunch of parts and another destroyed piece of history.

your right some people do take these trucks apart only to make them look bad . I promise you this by the time we're done with this build there may be a good chance that you may like this truck in its new form... it's worth a look...

Nice looking truck! I'll have to dig up some pictures of one of my old '69 trucks and post it. It's nearly a twin to this truck. I believe the one I have in mind was gold/white though.

Anyway, congratulations on your new acquisition!!
