So what to put in? The TMI and Snowden stuff is great, but I didn’t want to spend that kind of money. After looking at a bunch of ideas in various seat threads, one that I really liked was the king ranch swap by buspilot23
here, which is really clean.
I know, I know… I’m talking about putting F-brand parts in a C10. Don’t hold it against me yet, it might get worse depending on what you think about the other non-chevy brands.
The trouble with king ranch seats was finding them. The salvage yard here hadn’t had any in years so I started to look through everything else. I tried to stay with the rear seats out of an f150 because of the dimensions, but the only thing available was grey or black and I wanted to keep a brown interior. Ended up walking out with like-new rear heated leather seats from a ‘15 Ram Laramie Crew Cab for $230. I didn’t love the longhorn patches, but it wasn’t a deal breaker and I don’t even notice them now.
A quick test fit after getting them home to see how high/low they sit relative to steering wheel, back window, etc. The headrests are on sitting on the shelf for another day, they need cut way down to work.
