Bench seat for my 64 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kens65fb · 08-05-2019, 01:34 PM

This seat is advertised as a 1973 - 1987 Chevy Truck Seat. (Good Price)
Is this a easy install & fit in my 64 Fleetside
What mods are needed ?
Will I need to use 60-66 seat tracks ?

I think the first seat I ever bought was one like that. Eventually I found the full foam seat and repaired the springs, powder coated the frame and now I think I'm happy. They are out there waiting for someone to rescue them.

Someone gave me a beat-up 60-66 c10 seat, but it needs repair, some of the springs on the bottom seat, on the driver side edge are broken.
Attached is a picture of a similar seat, not mine, showing the springs I need for repair.

Can these springs be bought ?

Ya that's the standard seat. The full foam unit has zig-zag seat springs. I had that one also. The seat backs are the same if that helps.

If you want to go newer like from a 2006 Silverado you will get buckets as well as seat belts.

But then maybe you should also modify the steering shaft to the collapsible type.
