What seats are in your truck?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bstack · 12-05-2003, 05:56 PM

Been wondering what seats some of you guys are using in your trucks. I know the original buckets are expensive. Trying to get some ideas on what looks good and comfortable. Anyone have any pics of yours?

Hotrod70C10 · 12-05-2003, 06:09 PM

I've got a set of buckets from a 2002 or 2003 izuzu rodeo in mine. they fit really well. Here's a pic.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...&postid=597276

Since that pic I put the headrests back on and built a custom console that runs from the back of the cab and runs up into the dash.

Ackattack · 12-05-2003, 06:13 PM

I have some buckets out of a mid 80s Dodge Daytona. Got them at the salvage yard. They're ok, but I need to raise them up a little more to make them more comfortable. I also built a cusom center console with my floor shifter and a 10" sub in it.

metalman · 12-05-2003, 06:21 PM

i have some bench/bucket type seat now. I do not know what it came out of. I asked my friend from whom i got the truck and he cannot remember what they came out of. I like them just fine but i will probably go with some kind of regular bucket seats later on so i can put some kind of console between the seats.

Right now I have a set from a mid 80's Lebaron but will be swapping them out for the 99 Dodge Ram split bench seat I have

nosto · 12-05-2003, 07:47 PM

Mid-80s Daytona buckets from a U-Pull-It. Built bases out of 1" angle iron. Wish I had about an extra 6" in the back of the cab so I could lean the seats back a bit more....

nosto · 12-05-2003, 07:53 PM

Hmmmm...had a pic attached to the last reply, ISP glitched.

Heres the pic.....

72 Blazerman · 12-05-2003, 07:55 PM

I have the stock buckets in my truck. I think the price of new covers are a little high, but I guess hat is what I will have to pay to keep in stock. my 2 cents

I'm running a steel horse leather seat that I got off ebay

**BOSS** · 12-05-2003, 08:58 PM

I have a set of 67 buckets that i was going to put in but the prices of the covers and foam are so much that i will probaly try to trade them for something else.

1969 GMC · 12-05-2003, 09:04 PM

Z52 full foam bench seat, baby....ohhh yeah...feel the luxury...

actually, I like my stock bench...with torn vinyl, and a torn patch glued on the vinyl, and a torn seatcover, and a torn patch sewn onto the seatcover.

I have a bench bucket from Erickson Seating, made by Arias.. Fold down Center back, with drink holders. The material, is garbage... And I paid a lot for it, not counting the shipping..

If I keep it, I'm going to have it recovered in Leather.

**Palf70Step** · 12-05-2003, 09:19 PM

split bench out of a 93 1500

Bill72BB · 12-05-2003, 09:23 PM

98 chevy 60/40 .

mkmiller1 · 12-05-2003, 10:00 PM

I've got some 40/20/40 seats out of an early '90 chevy x-cab(so the seat will slide far enough forward for folks to get in the back of the blazer). This set has the fold-down console in the middle to allow more passengers or provide a place to put your elbow and drink. They fit very nice and don't interfere with the 4wd shifter. I can get a pic of them if you want, they are currently out while bodywork is being done.

R1 Racing Seats with a 4 Point Harness

jay6891 · 12-06-2003, 12:34 AM

here is a catalog pic of the steel horse seat. I like it really well. To me the head rest are a little tall for our trucks so I took them off. Plus it lets me recline a little further back. I do not have the fuel tank inside the cab so I can't tell you how it is with it. Lists in the catalog for 995.00, install kit 60.00. Console lifts up for third seat. Under third seat is a storage compartment.

bstack · 12-06-2003, 12:48 AM

Thanks for all of the replys and pics!! Would the gas tank removed make that much more room? Would like a pic mkmiller if you have one.

Thanks again
