Re: looking for bucket seats for my truck.....

I'm currently looking for a deal on the Bostrom T910 buckets for my crew cab. Suburban buckets would be the easiest to get and install. just make sure the seat backs will clear back of cab!

With a mig, plasma cutter and a grinder you can make just about any work.

Re: looking for bucket seats for my truck.....

I have heard that you should look for something with a thin back. There is so little room in the cab that you want a thin seat so you can push it back far enough. Look at how thin the bench is...

If you want some that bolt in, get them out of a Suburban. Get the stands that the inner brackets bolt to also.
