Chevelle Bucket Seats??

[ipoppa33]

Looking for something a little different for my 66 c10. I really like the looks of old school buckets (the chrome trim is classy). I've been looking at seats and the A body seats might fit the bill. I did a bunch of searches but didn't find anything, has anyone tried these in their truck? I've never sat in one, are they comfortable?
Thanks in advance.

I like those seats too

Funny enough I have a 69 Chevelle but it has 71 Cuda seats in it so I can't help much. I have sat in stock chevelle seats and they aren't bad but I'm bigger with a bad back so I prefer newer stuff with better support anymore.

I'm going to be using buckets out of a '69 Camaro in my '65 C-10. They are not currently installed, but I have test fit them. They aren't going to win "the most comfortable seat" award compared to newer options, but they aren't bad. Most people's hind-parts are just more conditioned to the more cushiony seats of today. I prefer the older seats because I think they look more period correct.

Thanks for the replies, I agree the old seats have character. Do the camaro seats have the headrests? If so how far into the window do they go? Thanks again.

Not sure how the Chevelle seats would work in a truck but the older GM '' A " body seats are to me very comfortable. By this point in time be aware they will need new foams, springs replaced, etc. Not a cheap build with covers unless you get extremely lucky finding a set. I have a set of the 69-72 style in my '71 Chevelle and a set of the '67-'68 style for my '57 2dr sedan. For preference I think the seats from the earlier Chevelles and Impalas with the chrome band across the top and sides look the best. Thinking they were used from '62 - '65. '66 seats have no folding seat latch lock. '67 - '68 seats have the side latch, '69 - '72 seats have the folding latch centered in the back. Good luck in your search.
