I took a 1990 Chevy bench seat and cut off the extendable head rests and took 2” off of the seat frame to lower it from sticking up into the big back window of my truck. The seat will be recovered to match the truck. My pet peeve is never put a late model seat in an old vehicle without recovering it. If you leave it stock it looks like you didn’t have enough money to finish the job right. Just sayin !!!

How did this turn out? did you remove the bar that goes across the front?
Does it still move back and forth?
How did you handle the overlap at the back of the bracket?

Hounds tooth in my 65 with lowered seat brackets. I'm 6'2" so with the all new padding I was looking out of the top of the windshield.

Currently doing my door panels in the same material!

Have a friend that has his own trim shop, so had him whip this up for me a while back.

I picked up a seat from a '65 the other day, and it needs a few springs in the back. Where do I find them? Please don't say "you local seat guy" as I am in a very challenged area for that.

Some of the truck resto parts places have spring kits . I’ve used springs from a donor seat before and tied pieces next too the broken springs. I’ve also welded broken springs and and again reinforced the area with a piece of old donor spring

Hey, he's been having some health issues lately and probably won't be making any more covers. I think he has one finished 64/65 pattern cover in stock, but that's all. PM me if interested I'll forward his phone number.

Buckets are from an ’04 Honda Civic. Center seat was made from the Civic’s back seat. I also made a cup holder.

I love Honda seats. I have always found them vary comfortable.
