Upgrading my seat
I'm just curious can I take a bench style from newer Chevy truck and put it in my 1963 C10 with the fuel tank still behind the seat?

Re: Upgrading my seat
Definitely. My favorite donor seat is the '88-'93 Chevy/GMC truck seat with the flip down armrest. Super comfortable, and they fit perfectly.

Re: Upgrading my seat
Yes they are comfy.. I have one of that era seats in my truck also.. I am going to have to find another one to put in the 65 I just bought. The best part is the front holes line up and you just have to drill the rear holes.

Re: Upgrading my seat
If you want head rests you can get a bench seat out of a '88-'93 Chevy suburban but there is no fold down arm rest and the seats don't fold forward.

Re: Upgrading my seat
This was my project last weekend. The new seat is such a huge improvement comfort wise. It does seem to sit closer to the steering wheel and a bit higher than the original. The new seat is out of an 88 Chevy 1500, cost me $16 at pull-a-part. The front 2 bolt holes lined up perfect, but I had to drill 2 new holes for the rear bolts. I used large thick fender washers underneath to help keep from pulling through in the event of an accident and someday will weld in some plate steel underneath. Fuel tank is still behind the seat.
Original seat New to me seat. Nice to get the headrests and armrest. |

Re: Upgrading my seat
Yes they do. I'm also 6'3" 350lbs so for anyone smaller I would say the seat would be perfect.
