Oh and by the way...do you remember if those seats had the seat belt buckled built into them?
I was happy with the way it turned out. The thought crossed my mind to pull out the seats when I sold the truck.

I used the stock seat belts from my 76'. The 98' seats don't have the belt built in.

Re: 79 C10 seat ideas

I like those seats, too. They are a lot thicker in the back than the earlier seats. I am 6'1, and getting fat. I like the thinner seat. I looked at the brackets on my seat, and it looks like they used some rectangle tubing to make a riser at the front, and used the original '87 Tracks. Not too bad, if you can weld a little bit.

I think you will be pleased. I have also found that having the armrest gives me a place to put the stereo faceplate, too. Just a thought.

Well just finished reading a PM from stitch, he said the best thing would be to do my bench like the red and black picture I posted.
