Thanks for tips fella's. I was thinking 2nd row Burb/Tahoe seat would work but hadn't thought of extended cab, sports car, or jeep seats. My wife would really like, shall we say, "newer" seats. My biggest concern is making a new seat look OK in a 40+ yr old truck. Maybe if I could get the originals re-upholsered with some extra padding for the backside?? I really like that houndstooth material, do you think I could make it work in a 66'?

Hey Longhorn Man, thanks for the compliment. My family really likes the Burb, wife wanted a wagon but the Burb is cooler IMO. Those pic's are from Saturday and the endless monsoon. We were in the barn just across from our truck. We hit GG every year, I live over in Champaign county not too far away. Sure is nice having that GG show less than an hour away.

These 67-72 Burbs are growing on me, if I only had more garage space....
