Need some Seat Help

[84 400]

Well i know there have been a millon threads about seats but i need some help because i need to have my seat done by the time summer rolls around. I have a 84 c10 and the seat flat out sucks bildge water! My lower back gets all messed up every time i ride in it and i am not that old at all. My father also complains about the seat to no end. It was definatly the worst part of the ride back from Texas. So what i want to know is what are some resonable options for me?? The truck is more a show and weekend truck. It does haul from time to time but it is more for fun. I took the original seat out which is tan and is in really bad shape! Will replacing the foam and cover make it better on our backs? Also as Clifsta mentioned i my try doubling up on the springs. Any ideas on what would look good in my interior?? I was thinking of going with an older hotrod style. Or a seat cover that resembles the one on it now. Also this would be done by a shop probibly.

My dad likes option two better. This would be a seat from an 88 and up. he likes them because they are thinner. However if i get one from a junk yard it is probibly gonna need to be redone so then i got to add on that to the price. Also i would have to make up brackets. Any one done it and or have pic's?????

I wanted to run newer truck (99-04) seats but they are out of the price range at 475 plus shipping. Also it must be a bench or be able to hold three so no cool lowback buckets for me! one of my 2 brothers usually comes with us. or my mother.

Thanks for the help and any pictures and or diagrams of your setup?
that is what it looks like before i took it out. also the seat cover that is on it. has a ssort of "indian" pattern which i kind of like


Also if you vote to have the original or 88-98 seat recovered then please vote for the stye cover. thankis

If it was me i would fix and recover the factory seat that way it would all still be factory and like you said if you go to a junkyard u would have to repair that seat. I'm fixing to repair the seat in my 86 Silverado with repairing the springs and new foam where needed

When the trans. blew in my 74 that prompted the body off job. The FIRST thing out of it was that sorry a$$ bench seat. I do have a bad back and picked up 8 way power tracks out of a couple Park Avenues with 40/60 seats.
They will be topped with race style buckets I had extra padding added too in the lumbar area.

Here you can see what I did with my bench. It was repaired and recovered with grey and a blue bowtie to match the exterior of my truck. It is a lot more comfortable than the old one simply because of the new foam and padding.
