Sam, I think Cosmo is right, it's your [censored]... but it's all meant to say that anything you do to your bolt is a personal decision. Here's kind of a decision process:
If your plans are to do an accurate restoration then the decisions are made for you as you'll need to follow what the truck was originally. The variables here are if you plan to show the truck and at what level of competition. This will also determine how often you drive it... need for a garage, etc.
But if your plans are to have a comfortable truck that you can cruise around in then ask yourself:
-How often?
-How far?
-How much $$ do I want to put into it?
-Can I do the work or do I have to pay someone?
-And most importantly, what kind of a look do I want?
More to the point about your question, I've found that my bench seat is more restrictive. You are very limited on forward and back adjustments. It's a good thing that I've not yet put on TOO much weight as my steering wheel is righthere. But I did add additional padding to the seat when I had it covered so that was a factor. Having said all of that, the seat is very comfortable. I never considered putting in buckets because although my truck is a daily driver with some upgrades, I still want it to retain the charm of the old look.
I sort of valved on here... hope it was helpful. Good luck and welcome!
