What seats are in your truck??

Been wondering what seats some of you guys are using in your trucks. I know the original buckets are expensive. Trying to get some ideas on what looks good and comfortable. Anyone have any pics of yours?

I've got a set of buckets from a 2002 or 2003 izuzu rodeo in mine. they fit really well. Here's a pic.

Since that pic I put the headrests back on and built a custom console that runs from the back of the cab and runs up into the dash.

I have some buckets out of a mid 80s Dodge Daytona. Got them at the salvage yard. They're ok, but I need to raise them up a little more to make them more comfortable. I also built a cusom center console with my floor shifter and a 10" sub in it.

i have some bench/bucket type seat now. I do not know what it came out of. I asked my friend from whom i got the truck and he cannot remember what they came out of. I like them just fine but i will probably go with some kind of regular bucket seats later on so i can put some kind of console between the seats.

Mid-80s Daytona buckets from a U-Pull-It. Built bases out of 1" angle iron. Wish I had about an extra 6" in the back of the cab so I could lean the seats back a bit more....

I have a bench bucket from Erickson Seating, made by Arias.. Fold down Center back, with drink holders. The material, is garbage... And I paid a lot for it, not counting the shipping..

If I keep it, I'm going to have it recovered in Leather.

seats

I've got some 40/20/40 seats out of an early '90 chevy x-cab(so the seat will slide far enough forward for folks to get in the back of the blazer). This set has the fold-down console in the middle to allow more passengers or provide a place to put your elbow and drink. They fit very nice and don't interfere with the 4wd shifter. I can get a pic of them if you want, they are currently out while bodywork is being done.

here is a catalog pic of the steel horse seat. I like it really well. To me the head rest are a little tall for our trucks so I took them off. Plus it lets me recline a little further back. I do not have the fuel tank inside the cab so I can't tell you how it is with it. Lists in the catalog for 995.00, install kit 60.00. Console lifts up for third seat. Under third seat is a storage compartment.
