Do they offer a thinner seat back? Had I known what I did after getting my buckets, I would have skipped on adjustable lumbar support. Never use it anyway, and it adds thickness to the seat back. Ask if they have something as thin as a mid 80's F-body seat back. (And yeah, I can see there is no adjustable lumbar on yours).

I've got a set of 85 Firebird buckets in my Nova, seatback is nice and thin (and surprisingly comfortable for what I assume is a base cloth seat since it has no extra adjustments) which would be ideal for the truck. I should try it out one day when I got enough time and bored enough to bother.

Worst case, you find a local upholsterer that'll work with you and thinning up the seat back and restitching your leather.
