I just paid 2x what I paid for my last set. I still think I did ok.

**Chevy4Life** · 01-12-2011, 02:20 AM

I think $400 in ANY condition is a pretty good deal.

This looks a little better. Not trying to rub it in but, I think we all like to hear the "barn find" stories.

$100,,,,,,damn what a steal..

I look high and low non stop and can't ever find a set that cheap, in what looks like pretty decent shape..

Yeah, they are pretty nice. They have been recovered, but the fabric is fading and the vinyl is starting to crack. I thought it may have had a Dodge center seat, but after looking closer it looks like the PO had a bigger back made for it. Probably makes it a more comfortable and useful seat.

For sure! Thing is, he says they came out of his 71, but his truck appeared to be a 68 4x4. Which would explain the seats. Then as I was pulling away I spotted the 68 style tow hooks! I didn't get a close look at, but I'd say it was a pretty well optioned 68 4x4 (at one time

)
