what do you think?

I have got 5 different sets of seats, and I am not sure what ones to use, I have placed them all in an extra cab to kinda get a feel for what they will look like, if you guys wouldn't mind voicing your opinion, it will help me make up my mind. My digital cam. is busted, so I don't have pics, but as soon as I get it fixed I will post some pics:

1. split bench out of a 84 chev. caprice w/ fold down are rests, and electric controls. when I placed them my spare cab, it looked like they will have a 8" gap between them(room for a custom console maybe)

2. bucket seats out of a 74 camaro

3. Fiero bucket seats(don't know what year)

4. Possibly buckets out of a mustang, Not sure.

5. Buckets and console out of 69-72 blazer(it was to torn down to tell a year) this would be the easiest to install, but they are in really rough shape.

any imput to help me make a decision, would be a great help.

thanks,

It depends on what you are doing with your truck. What is your truck like?

Out of all the seats I still like the look of the stock buckets and console, and they aren't terribly expensive to re do either

well the truck cab is in the shop right now, having the cab corners, rocker panels and partial floorboard replacement, and having the drip rails shaved.

I plan on having a smooth looking truck, no handles, fill tube filled in, relocated gas tank. sport mirrors. I hope this somewhat of an idea.

Since you now can buy new foam for the 69-72 buckets, that would be the way to go.

where do I go to get the new foam, those seats are in very rough shape, they appear to be black or grey vynel? but there is only a few small pieces still attached and the stuffing is almost non-exsistant, or can I just use any type of auto/apolstry foam?

Thanks.

I would say either the blazer buckets or fiero buckets.
