Re: 58 Apache Seat
I used the seat from an '89 Chev standard cab truck, it fits like it was made for the truck...

Re: 58 Apache Seat
That looks great. Did you do anything to the cushion to narrow it up? When I was building my truck ack in the early '90s I was working on '88 and '89 trucks regularly. I measured several of the GMT400 seats and found they were 2" - 3" too wide. Maybe I just didn't find the right seats?

Re: 58 Apache Seat
The '89 brackets fit perfectly between the reinforcement ribs on the cab floor. Literally, like it was made for the '58.
