We went to Wichita Falls for my mom's birthday on Friday night and got up early to hit a couple junkyards up there along with a flea market. The market usually brings in a good crowd for truck seats but nothing today. So we drove to a couple yards and all were closed or shut down. I finally was about to turn around until I found a sign for a yard I hadn't ever seen before. We got out and asked the guy if he had any seats for my truck. He said not really but go have a look. This place has somany 73-87 trucks and suburbans I was drooling over parts. Most were wrecked for body parts but the interiors were not bad. I found a few seats with possible chances of working but no bucket like I wanted. The ones I found were blue and bench from a crew cab with both seats in great shape. Well I was about to give up when Jennifer said let's keep looking. We were about to the front when she spotted a old 78 or so model burb. I looked in it had some aftermarket seats and the right color (tan)!! These are the 3 piece seats with the fold down console and lift up bottom underneath. I've priced these new for $600+ I was thinking I could get these and install after a good cleaning and later on redo the covers. So I see that they're still mounted with all the brackets I need to install in mine. We go and ask the guy at the counter how much for them. (I'm thinking about $100 which I couldn't pay.) He asked which one so I told him and he said $50 or $60 if he pulls them (I didn't have my tools on me nor was I going to take the truck back and get the tires flat). I told him to pull them and we'd be back. So he pulls them after we go and finish up some errands. When we come back he says there's a problem. I'm thinking what now???

Here's a couple dark pics of the seats. They're lighter than shows up. The driver side needs welded back to sit straight but ya'll get the idea.

Back to reality now
![]() If anyone needs frame specs let me know. I'm going to take the seat off and repaint the frame after getting the welding done.

Matt I went to Henson off Sheppard Access and found them. I first went to Best Auto but found out that they were closed and for lease. I was shocked!! That was like the biggest place around.

yeah, Best closed down a little while back for some "drug" thing, I never got all the details. Last time I went by there the gates were all wide open and no one was there, I was just waiting for a junk yard dog to come running out at me so I just left. I didn't find out they were closed till a few days later. ASAP auto parts has shutdown or is in the process now too. I'll have to go check out Henson, I haven't been there and I have a few little things I wouldn't mind picking up.

He's got quite a few 73-87 trucks out there. Most have been picked over but a few still have some good parts. Let me know what you're looking for and next time I run to the yard here I'll look for ya.

seats
Will seats out of a 73-87 truck work in our 67-72 models? I'm looking to get a seat for my truck, and I'd like to know what all will bolt up to the same factory holes that are in my truck.
Thanks yall, David Moss
