Re: Bucket seats

I think bucket seats look fine as long as they're not taller than the bottom of the back window. I've seen a lot of trucks with really tall buckets and it looks a little goofy to me.

haha sorry. believe it or not they are out of a '03-'04 Chevy Cavalier. In the picture they are still on the factory sliding frame. They come perfectly to the bottom of the window.The front mounts fit perfectly on the floor and bolt up after drilling hole. i only ehave to modify the rear mount bracket. I picked them up from a local salvage yard. They are normally $75 a piece. The man working the yard gave them to me for $53 for the pair.
