I'm sorry about not getting those measurements! I will do it first thing today when I get off of work. I didn't even go out to the shop at all yesterday!

Mocked fitted in the truck!

LostMy65 · 12-04-2014, 02:52 AM

These of MisterC's I think are the finest set I've ever seen.

LostMy65 · 12-06-2014, 08:00 PM

A member sent me a pm asking about these seats.

Has anyone tried contouring the foam in the seat to make it more comfortable? The original foam gives no lower back support, and are too thick at the top. I would like to get some side support as well.

flashed · 12-07-2014, 05:40 PM

Mine sit very nice .

'68 Newtricks · 12-08-2014, 12:44 AM

I have the buddy bucket frame and center, but some PO replaced the buckets with something else. Can anyone identify them? I haven't a clue but the backs are adjustable with a wheel and tilt forward.

Zigy · 07-09-2015, 07:39 PM

I just got mine redone..
Haven't installed them yet but there going in my 1979.
They are out of a 67.

That red set Chewy looks to the nines identical to the set displayed in the red 1968 GMC featured in all the original new model year advertisements. I am very impressed with those you must be very proud! What was your costs and sources, if I might ask?

I had sms fabrics in canby oregon make them. I sent my originals and they remade them in exact colors and even heat pleated the lines as originally done. I had my whole interior done this way to factory. I really can't remember the cost. It took them 2 years to do and was pricey but they did a awesome job. Here is 2 more of the rest of their work.
