Re: original seat height?

Not sure what seat you have got but I installed one from a 98 chevy. I had to pie cut the brackets to give it a bit more slope and a little lower to make it comfy.

Re: original seat height?

awesome, thanks.

72mario, it's out of a 98 or 99 ford, i think. dirt cheap, brand new (at the time) and has the removable/clip on drink holder. very comfy, but my legs all of a sudden feel a bit longer...

Re: original seat height?

Cool I had a 95ish ford seat but it had adjustable head rest that did noot look to hot. I really wanted the contoured bench and headrest combo.But they were impossible to find here. I ended up with the bench from the 98 cheby.

My legs also feel a little longer when I get into the 67 after driving my 84. Oh well.
