Bucket Seats

Installed bucket seats today. Console bolted right in. Had to modify two sets of bench seat brackets & they turned out great.

Looks identical to the seats in my Dad's 98 Chevy. Nice job, those look good in there!

anyone put the 60/40 (from 95-99 chevy)bench in theirs. I have one mounted, but don't like the current set up. I have to have a bench. Thinking I should go back to the stock one

Clean install and the seats look great.

How's the spacing between the seats and the steering wheel/foot pedals? Did you lose or gain any legroom or is it about the same?

Good job.

No leg room loss at all. They sit just a little bit higher than the stock bench but with a tilt wheel that is no problem at all. Thanks for the good comments.
