Seats for 71 C10...Help!!....
I am just beginning the restoration process on my 71 C10. Putting a new 350 in this weekend then on to the interior. I am wanting to replace the bench seat with bucket seats and a console. Can anyone tell me what newer year model Chevy buckets will fit width wise. Not worried about lining the holes up, I'll just drill new ones. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

Re: Seats for 71 C10...Help!!....
Mine are '03 Silverado crew-cab units. They are quite comfy, have integrated shoulder belts, power adjustable w/ lumbar, etc, etc.... However if you've indulged the malted hops for any length of time and have developed a slight "thickness" in your mid-section- you'll probably need to collapse the column a couple inches and install a smaller (shallow-dish) steering wheel to clear the belly because these seats are thicker than the stock bench unit. With that said- I'm 6 foot @ 260/lbs. and I don't have any issues.

That is exactly what I am wanting! THanks so much. I am the same size!! One thiong I forgot to mention is that the gas tank is behind the seat, will this effect the sizing to a great degree?

I'm running a stock tank too, and it has no effect- the seats hit the panel below the rear window first.

They have a nice "adapter Frame" that bolts to the new seats and then bolts to the OEM Brackets in the Floorboard. Roger "RATIKLE" ![]()
