Updating your bench seat

Does anyone know what bench seats fit best in the 64-66 cabs? I have a chance to procure a 60-40 split bench out of an 88 Chevy Pu. I'm wondering if this will work without to much modification.

Re: Updating your bench seat

The '88 style seat is a great choice for our trucks. Two of the mount bolts will line up and you'll have to drill the other two. The width is right, and the height is OK. I like to sit a little lower, so I chopped a couple of inches (lengthwise) out of my brackets.

I recommend the '88 seat if it's in good shape and the price is right.

Re: Updating your bench seat

Well I ended up with the 60 40 split bench seat out of an 88 Chev pick up. Turning out to be a bit more complicated than I thought. Guess I needed the solid bench seat instead. Any ideas on how to deal with the way mods need to be made to deal with the contour of the low hump??

Re: Updating your bench seat

At work right now and truck is at home. The seat requires 8 bolts to mount it so I need to drill 6 more. The contour or the low hump requires some shiming to make it sit correctly on the cab floor. I'll try to get some pics uploaded

Re: Updating your bench seat

This is a bench out of a '95 Chevy C-10. Perfect fit. The only mod I made was removing the headrests...........
