would these be ideal seats? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I thought these would be decent because theyre thinner than most of the truck seats and would provide needed leg room, and i could always get them reupholstered. i can get them for under $100. anyone think i should jump on it or would it look weird? id takethe headrests out btw.

They look good to me but it's hard to tell if they would work good without a trial fit. What are they out of?

big_al_71 · 01-10-2010, 09:35 PM

I would use them for sure but the headrests have to go.

theyre out of a ....03-06 mazda 3 i believe.

Look good. Do you have a center console? You'll need one. And yes, lose the headrest.

haha definitely lose the headrests.
i dont even have a truck bed, or an engine, or anything else lol. i just found these for cheap and know im going a bucket seat route, so i figured id snatch them up if they seem ideal.

you might have to rework the seat track. I don't think that will fit the floor board of a 67-72

yeah it looks like the outer mount ill have to like cut and reweld further back or something.

probably. I had mazda buckets in my suburban at one point, I got them to work after making some risers for the seats because they sat too low.

energiesource · 01-11-2010, 09:25 AM

hmm... lol i think for $100 or less ill make em work :P
i just dont want those big thick ass seats like in the newer trucks because there isnt much room

I don't have Mazda seats in my truck, but I do have some buckets out of another car, not sure where they are from. But I completely understand what your saying about the big bulky truck seats you see in some trucks. Mine aren't very bulky, I have my headrests on, and I don't have a center console either, and I get plenty of compliments on my interior. It is very clean and basic.
