Bucket Seats - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm looking for some ideas on what bucket seats work well in our trucks. I've got a set of 67-68 buddy bucket seats that need to be rebuilt but I really don't have the green to drop on new foam and covers. Who has the best deal on foam and covers? If I dont use them, what newer buckets fit well (not too thick, I need the leg room) and look good?

This is what will be going in mine. From a 97 C1500.

I'll be using a console from a 73 ish Blazer.

Well, I bought a bunch of auto upholstery leather and I'm going to cover the buckets myself. For the cost, if they don't turn out it'll be a temporary fix.

In the newer seats try getting ones with built in seat belts n shoulder harness. biggest concern is always the height and the head rests, then comfort. Surely you can CL your buddies get a nice set of late model electric seat & 3/4's plus cash to do other things on your truck.
