im looking for pics of modern seats in these trucks. i need to get ideas for my swap. I currently have a bench seat and am looking to get a new bench seat, maybe one with a console that folds up flush with the back.

lets see pictures of new seats in these old trucks!

thanks guys

These Italian leather seats were out of a very rare 1990 Cadillac 60 Special. They are 10 times more comfortable than the bucket seats that came out my 1990 Suburban. I plan to dye them black. In terms of comfort, I highly recommend them.

those do look quite nice lots of power adjustment too!

Not finished yet but you get the idea.

I have a 93 silverado 60/40 seat in my truck at the moment. Fits good, just have to section the side rails.

74 stepside · 10-15-2012, 05:50 PM

Also look at 91-96 Caprice seats. Very comfortable. My 94 caprice wagon had full power, 8 way adjustable seats (both sides) that were 60/40 with arm rest that folded up for 3rd person to sit.

It's a pain to put modern seats in these trucks with the floor hump and tanks underneath

i like your ideas guys, i love my bench too but my truck is a daily driver and so i tend to keep a bunch of stuff in it and i really really need cupholders, but my fiance likes to sit in the middle most of the time so im looking for either a seat like the ones 76stepside01 used or for a bench in which the console/cupholders fold up and hide inside the bench

... see i would agree but she tends to complain about having that duty

88Jimmy4x4 · 10-15-2012, 09:29 PM

heres mine, got them from summit racing with brackets and use factory holes except for one each had to drill a hole. They recline and slide.

cory d · 10-15-2012, 09:34 PM

those look good, i dont know about the console. i need 73-75 doors, they look way better

88Jimmy4x4 · 10-15-2012, 09:37 PM

I know its not the bucket/bench but........it is an option lol

i have a spare bench seat (its th couch in ym bedroom), maybe i can try making it more like a bucket.

cal30_sniper · 10-16-2012, 12:56 AM

I put '96 Suburban seats into my '86. As long as you can score the factory bucket seat rails for your truck, they are "almost" a bolt in job.

Instructions on how I did it here:

Since Im not using the saddle tanks anymore, Ive thought about cutting out the floor humps and installing a flat floor like like 60-72 tucks and k5 blazers have. It would make seat swaps alot easier if I wanted to. Maybe someday in the future...

1981Sturgis · 10-16-2012, 07:09 AM

2005 Cadillac CTS Heated Leather.

you cant really get it flat, close but due to frame rail you cant completely
