1986 Chevy C10 Bench Seat Dimensions? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

muthstryker · 12-18-2009, 01:22 AM

Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone knew off the top of their head the dimensions of the stock bench seat? My truck is still in Cali (coming up in January) and I cant measure it. So if anyone knows and can post it up that would be great!

Thanks

-Matt

Already modding it and dont even have the truck? lol jk. I see you found your way over from PT.com. welcome

The bench seat brackets holes are 47" apart.

57 1/2" x 20 1/2" for seat bottom.

57 1/2" x 21" for top part. roughly

muthstryker · 12-18-2009, 05:25 PM

Cool, The seat I want to use is 58"s, Still not sure if I want to run buckets or not.

Haha hey Tony, Ya trying to get my new interior sorted out, plan on changing it right away. Nice to "see" a familiar "face" here.

What do you guys think of this set up?

Tony_SS · 12-19-2009, 10:26 PM

Those look really nice! Looks like they sell adaptors brackets to bolt right in too.. bookmarked that site, thanks!

muthstryker · 12-20-2009, 05:01 PM

I like that style of seat (the lotus) I found them on summit racing but no center console, then was searching and came up with that site. They respond fast to my questions I asked which is a good thing, plus you can add all sorts of options to the seats!

Tony_SS · 12-20-2009, 05:08 PM

I like how they attach to a frame and then that frame is a bolt in with the correct adapters. Which is a good think since there are fuel tanks underneath.. nice not having to drill!

Plus those seats look great for taking some serious corners.

muthstryker · 12-20-2009, 05:11 PM

Ya I emailed the guy to see how they exaclty mount to the factory seat mounts and if they make the seats sit up much higher then the factory.

Going to have to measure myself to make sure I "fit" into those seats, I should but If not looks like I have to go with another setup they have. I also like how the center console with those seats has alot of storage space. which is nice in a single cab!

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 05:34 PM

I have seats like the lotus and I dont like them.. Im being a bench seat from the salvage yard and a black seat cover.

why dont you like them? Have any pics?

muthstryker · 12-20-2009, 05:47 PM

I may go with these ones rather then the lotus seats, seeing how they dont stick up past the window...

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 05:49 PM

They arent the lotus but they are high like that and have a center consol. I dont like how tall they are and I just like bench seats alot.

No pics.. Sorry man.

Tony_SS · 12-20-2009, 05:51 PM

I like those too... but these are nice as well.. price good and the support looks nice. I just wonder how high they'd go up past the window.

When you find out how much higher thses seats sit, let us know!

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 05:54 PM

Yeah. lol.

Not to take away from the topic but I have been looking for a new dash but it seems that All off the dashes in this body style. They all have a rip on the top but a vent I think it is.. any suggestions? do the dash pads work well?

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 05:55 PM

by the vent

muthstryker · 12-20-2009, 06:03 PM

Ya I to dont like seats that are really tall that stick up past the window, I like the bench seats but I need an arm rest/ center console of some sort. I dont care for the consoles you can buy that just sit on the seat thats not the same.

Tony_SS · 12-20-2009, 06:32 PM

Same here.. I have a cheap cup holder on the floor.. it aint cutting it! I need a good center console with cup holders and storage.. plus my bench fabric shot so this is a great upgrade all around.

muthstryker · 12-20-2009, 06:39 PM

Ya I think I might go with the lowback seat that I posted.. keeps it low profile and still uses the same consoles as the other seats.. Its going to have to come after my wheels though! lol..

Dudewith4x4, what rip are you talking about? confused..

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 06:42 PM

On the top of the dash. There are some holes for a vent or a speaker. My dash is ripped there. All truck I looked at have the same ripped. Has anyone used dash covers?

thrtsxchambers · 12-20-2009, 07:23 PM

The holes are for the factory center speaker. I don't like the dash covers but I have seen where some have them and fit nice and can't really tell it is just a cover. Depending on your plans for the truck, I had my dash covered with leather for less than the cost of a cover.
Thanks stryker for link to that web site, I am looking to swap seats soon and they seem to have nice looking seats.

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 09:15 PM

Thanks dude. Where did you get the leather done at?

thrtsxchambers · 12-20-2009, 09:30 PM

A local shop here in N.C. I think the name is custom classic interiors. I saw some of his work on other vehicles when I stopped by to talk to him and was hooked, he does good work and not too expensive.

Dudewith4x4 · 12-20-2009, 09:41 PM

Oh. Well I was think of a dash mat.. Idk. They took kinda cool.
