bench seat for 66, what's best?

I'm trying to finish my interior, and was wondering what would be a good bench seat swap for my 66 GMC. I'm looking low and thin if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks all

I have a full foam, 71-72 C/10 seat and it's very comfortable and bolts right in.

88-98 ck seats are the thinnest bench seats for the chevys,good seat for big guys to use.

Agreed. I love those seats because they fit me well. The foam is the perfect density to where it's comfortable, but not "springy". I especially like the '88-'91 seats because they have the heavier, thicker vertical pleats, and if you're lucky, you can find the full bench with the flip-down armrest. They didn't make many of those. I've got one in my '55, and I'm looking for another one for my '64.
