VA WTB nice bench seat - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

VA72C10 · 06-02-2010, 09:13 AM

Looking for a nice bench seat with an olive green cover 1st choice, or green with houndstooth or cloth inserts. Will consider two tones with cloth or solid vinyl. Maybe even a nice brown or tan like a leather...Post up pictures and a price shipped to 23112 or if you're close enough to central VA (Richmond) for me to pickup. Thanks.

Something nicer than this

Dasani · 06-02-2010, 11:48 AM

The one in the Super is in about the same condition! Sorry, but I may have the horn button

Dasani · 06-02-2010, 11:54 AM

I only have one half of one seat belt, you are welcome to it for shipping, I'll take a picture for you; need a cargo lamp?

Is the current bench seat beyond repair? if not, why not get some new foam and a cover of your choice and re-skin it?

Thanks for the effort Geoff. Honestly looking for something nicer and in the factory olive green of the truck as my first choice...

The foam seems decent actually. Seat is comfortable. Just needs a cover but I don't want to recover it. With labor I'm probably at 3-400....so if I can find a nice one for 3-400 or something custom I'd be ahead....had a chance a couple years ago to buy an entire brown leather interior for 500....so hoping I can find a similar deal

brownge · 06-03-2010, 11:04 AM

I have one with a brand new green houndstooth cover that I'll sell you for $325 plus shipping. I had it re-covered and then decided to go with buckets. Let me know if you're interested and I'll take some pics tonight.

VA72C10 · 06-03-2010, 11:08 AM

Definitely interested in pictures and a shipped price. Thanks!

JimmyFloyd · 06-03-2010, 11:32 AM

If I can get the 69 to my house, it has a nice black one. Probably won't be for a couple weeks though, so if you haven't found one by then, let me know.

Newly recovered in black. It's been on Greenville craigslist quite a while. I think it's someplace near the NC border

Decided I really want green or green with something.....going to edit my post now. But thanks for that link as it's actually someone who recovers these all the time....probably why you always see that ad.

brownge · 06-03-2010, 09:01 PM

Here are some pics of mine. I'll have to check into the shipping and let you know.

I'm leaving for Aruba in 5 hours. If your still looking for a nice seat that's all Olive green (I think it's probably vinyl) when I get back I'll shoot you some pics. The seat I have is nice but the driver seat bottom is torn where the driver sits. Other then that the whole bench seat is really nice. PM me if you want more details when I get back.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a nice one with no rips. Have a fun trip!!!

billsbowtie · 06-03-2010, 11:49 PM

i have a nice driver black bench seat with tracks and stuff on it, it,s just dusty from storeage. $250.00 but not sure how you could get it i am about 400 miles from richmond,

brownge · 06-04-2010, 10:18 AM

Yes, it's medium olive. I bought it from LMC - http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.aspx?page=101.

VA72C10 · 06-04-2010, 01:00 PM

Thanks, definitely interested. If you can check with Fedex or Greyhound possibly for freight. I have a Greyhound hub here in Richmond I could pick up from and find they are more reasonable for larger items. Thanks again!

Did you ever find a seat? I've got a brand new 72 style bench thats black with green houndstooth. I changed directions on colors and have no use for it now.

I am pretty sure I'm picking up brownge's seat, and he's been gracious to hold it while I finish up my blazer project....but I am interested in seeing pictures of yours. I'm doing black carpet so the black and green seat might tie it together more than all green. hmmmm....Please post pics and pricing. thanks.

matchstick · 06-17-2010, 07:06 PM

I can't post pics. Send me your e-mail. I've got around $600 in it. I had it done 2 weeks ago. I'd take $400 for it.

Ummm...what direction are you going in Matchstick?!?!?

(sorry I'm stalking you

)

matchstick · 06-18-2010, 06:17 AM

I've actually got 3 trucks. I was going to use one as a parts truck to build my nice truck,a 72 Cheyenne Super, then just a decent beater. I'm painting it Med Olive. The parts truck is almost too good to be parted, so I'm going to go ahead and fix it as a decent driver- with buddy buckets of course

- and then go all black with my other trucks interior. I just didn't like the black and green together like I thought I would.
