What seats work in 64-66 trucks?
I have a possibility to get a seat from a 1975 square body and wonder if it will work and look halfway like the original if I have it recovered to look like an original.
What seats work in our trucks? I have seen the mid 90's seats from the Suburban and Tahoe seats used, but I don't like the looks of them for my truck, I'm shooting for a more original look but not a 100% original restoration. Someone stole my seat from my storage along with some other metal parts so I need to get a seat. |

I put a squarebody seat in my first 65 way back when I was in high school. 25ish years ago. It fit and didn’t look out of place. The early bench seat out of the next generation trucks 88-? Fits very well as well. That’s what was in my current truck when I bought it.

The mounting brackets are different on the squarebody. I'm not sure how custom it gets to adapt the squarebody bench to stock brackets. A 67-72 seat is pretty much a bolt in. Won't be a folding seat from 69-72 though. Some of the squares don't fold forward either.

Oh you'll be putting things behind the seat.

Yup, I'd recommend trying to keep a folding seat in there so that you can put stuff behind the seat. If I ever move my tank, I'll be making something to hold tools, fluids, etc. behind the seat
