Re: Bench or bucket seats?

A bench seat makes a lot more sense in a truck but if you want buckets I'd probably look for buckets out of an SUV that had removable head rests rather than high backs. The headrests on low back seats just give a cleaner look in older trucks than highback sets that take you back the mullet hair days do.
One thing to think about, your honey can't sit next to you with buckets is that might be important to either of you. A good seat that is comfortable all the way across like the one black sheep showed has a lot going for it. Don't get the plain base level 88/92 seat though as the base level seat is like riding on a plank, I had one in my 71 and replaced it with an upgrade level seat.
