All of these late model GM seats are pretty much the same for mounting. They are not a direct bolt in with the holes but a little fabrication work and 8 bolts and it is done. I used these seats because of the shoulder straps and my wife and kids ride in it so wanted to be safe.

Has anyone swapped the late model (approx 2000 and up) split bench seats w/ the center drop-down console into a 60-66 WITH a manual transmission? I was thinking of doing this for my truck, but want to keep the manual behind a LS engine most likely, and think that I may have to go with the late-model buckets without a center console.

I bought a pair of these seats in leather, power everything for my C-10 and was heartbroken when I found that, being 6'2"", I couldn't use them account of the restricted legroom situation they create even with the gas tank removed.

My 60 has the seat out of a 90 Lincoln Town car. ($35 at the scrap yard). Took out all the electric motors and made my own mounts.

probably a really dumb question...but will a 69 GMC pickup seat bolt into the stock locations on a 66? I'm gonna get the seat anyways since it's $20 and in so-so shape. It'll need to be recovered and possibly new foam, but I'm trying to stay with the old school style bench

I'm pretty sure it will, I haven't tried, but several people have told me the 67-72 seats will fit in the original location.

Sweet, thanks for the reply. I had only found 1 or 2 posts indicating that someone had installed a 67-72 seat in a 60-66 but they didn't say if they bolted into the stock holes. I do vaguely recall a post by someone saying that the 67-72 seats are slightly wider than the originals.

That said I've been mulling over if I want to go with a more modern seat with a built in 3pt after trolling through all of the seat swap threads. Some of those seats look damn good...and the arm rest/storage is nice to have...

If your looking for more of "period correct" look these low back buckets fit that vibe, IMHO.

I built custom brackets for them that also incorporate seat belt brackets. The seats come with 3 adjustable height positions, include the adjustment track, they recline and they have a map pocket in the back.

More information can be found on my build thread.

I hope this helps.

I really like those seats.
They look so close to the buddy buckets I had in my 65.

SulphuriousSam · 05-11-2011, 11:48 AM

Here's mine...just a plain ole original seat. No rips or tears though. I couldn't tell if it was recovered or what but looks almost new. Hard to tell from this iPhone pic.

The blonde with a binky is aftermarket though...
