What seats are in your truck??
 
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.

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.

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 :D

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....

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 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.

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.

seats
 
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.

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

MandarinSixSeven, How did you attach the Grand Cherokee seats? Looks like you have the original levers on the base.

lukecp 12-06-2003 05:30 PM

I have a stock GM bench, re-covered in black vinyl. It is actually very comfortable...getting a bit sunk in on the driver's side from my fat a$$ though :D
Makes the truck comfy to ride in on long trips....unless it is hot....my back always gets soaked with sweat b/c the vinyl dosen't breate worth crap.

I plan to just get it re-covered with new foam and a black cloth seat cover eventually. It is just soo comfy and squishy.....not ultra-firm like most seats out of newer vehicles :bowtie:

Haha, you've got an Octopus on your seat! I've got one of those in my truck :)

spencra 12-06-2003 07:07 PM

I love bucket seats but I want to keep my truck as original as possible. To each his own though.

If you have your original bench seat you should definately hold onto it in case you change your mind. Or if you happen to sell it, having the original seat adds to the appeal.

68CST327 12-06-2003 07:17 PM

Oops, I forgot to post a picture of my truck. I have the original bucket seats:

Just Kidding.

Second-row out of a '99 Suburban. Still tilts forward, too. :) Nice and comfy.

Edit: And at $150, a lot cheaper than most options!

I've got Honda seats for sale in my signature. Can't ship though.
