Aligator Mouth costs me again
Looking the a parts catalog last night when I mention to my wife that you can get Seat heaters for the bench seat we're fixing to have redone thats from her 70 SWB. When will I learn to keep my thoughts to myself or just voice them internaly! She thinks thats a great idea. Has anyone have any experience with these and please tell me their not worth the 200.00 dollars to buy. My wife wont believe me but she might you guys.

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
In Texas? Just how cold does it get there? Up in my neck of the woods, seat heaters are very user friendly, but then I see some 0 degree weather or worse.

Sorry, but I gotta agree with the missus on this one. I won't say anything about heated mirrors, though.....oops.

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
Just be happy your wife cares. Mine wouldn't care if my truck burned to the ground, probably because she would be the one to start the fire.

$200 doesn't seem like too much for seat warmers. That north Texas weather can be a killer with the wind blowing. |

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
I have them in my 67 C10, and my 68 Olds 442, and they will also be going into my 68 c20 panel.
I did not want them either, but then once I brought a newer truck that had them, and we do have days below freezing, I was hooked. Much quicker then waiting for the engine to warm up the coolant/heater. Sorry, but I predict Victory on behalf of your wife.

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
They aren't only for freezing weather.
This past summer I fished an eight hour bass tournament with a good bud. He likes his post tournament Windsor and Cokes. I knew where this was going so I laid off the suds and got the duty of pulling my boat home with his 07 GMC (Grand Master Chevrolet). We get rolling down the highway. 90+ degrees outside. AC on full blast. He says, "Reach over and hit that button on the arm rest" I ain't 20 any more and that heating pad on my sore back from running the trolling motor and catching all those largemouths all day was just what the doctor ordered.

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
I have to agree with most others, I think having seat warmers is great, even in Georgia. I seldom drive my dad's Acura (can't see out of the dang thing) but when I do, in the winter having those seat warmers is heavenly. I'm not a fan at all of cold weather so I love 'em.

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
If I had them, they'd be on whenever the engine is running (like they are in the family rig) Even if your back isn't messed up, they still feel gooooooooooooooood

Re: Aligator Mouth costs me again
I agree, they are very nice to help out your back. I use mine in the summer time for that all the time.

Yes I agree, buy her a seat heater much cheaper than a new Camaro.
