Need me some new seats..

Wondering if anyone is running a aftermarket bucket in their truck, like a kirkey/butler/ultrashield. trying to get rid of the bench seat and also make as much room as possible.. as spirited driving is hard to do when you're pretty much right tight against the wheel pretty much and the pedals too.

just wondering if anyone has made the switch as I've found most people just swap in later model seats etc.. pics would be good too..

Re: Need me some new seats..

I got a Kirkey seat in my truck and I like it. I bought the aluminum seat brackets from Summit, but I need to modify them a bit so I can lay the seat back more. I like it though.

Sorry, no pics. Truck is apart for repairs.
