Wicked score!
Went to LKQ salvage yard this weekend and they were having a sale on seats...any seat $9.99. Seeing as i just bought a bench seat 3 weeks ago i didn't think much of it other than DAMN shoulda waited. Then I came across a c-10 with shaved door handles and tailgate....looked inside and it had a 40-20-40 split bench, with storage under the middle seat, and a fold down back with arm rests cup holders and more storage. The seat had one rip in the drivers side about 3 inches long, otherwise mint condition. So i go to pull it out and someone already pulled all the bolts, all i had to do was toss it in the wheel barrel! Custom made brackets and all. I also found a set of diamond plate bed rail protectors. Left the yard with everything for $30!
I know whats coming...lets see the pictures, well it is pouring rain outside and i haven't taken any yet. But once the sky clears i will post them right away.

Re: Wicked score!
Dang man thats a nice score, especially for the amount of work you put into it! I was at a yard one time and unbolted a nice condition 67-72 style console and thought I would just leave it there while I looked around a bit more...I came back and it was gone!
 You can bet someone is wishing they had taken those seats.I wish my local yard would do those kinds of sales. All we ever get out of them is free admission every so often.

Re: Wicked score!
Man, they are nice, they really hold you in place...no more sliding across the seat while getting on the highway.
I took the cup holder and storage box off the top for cleaning and painting. Bowtie, I did feel a little guilty...but then I remembered fighting with a bed I wanted for over 2 hours only to strip the last carriage bolt...came back the next day with a sawzall and it was gone. Hopefully it was the guy that took my bed. Now I have to see if i can return the bench seat I bought 3 weeks ago for $35...even if i can't I'm happy to have the seat for $44.99 ($9.99 + 35). (man do i need to get some speaker covers...fabric duct taped to cardboard, my temporary solution, just isn't cutting it 4 months later)

Re: Wicked score!
Throw the other seat in the yard outside, gives a place to take a short break while doing yard work. That's what hicks like me do.

Re: Wicked score!
the rail caps don't have stake holes....but that can be fixed.
I have the bench seat set up in the garage as a couch. Has already gotten quite a bit of use, beats the hell out of sitting on the old speaker box.
