I tried to fit bucket seats in my '62 and came to the same conclusion you did - they fit too close to the original steering wheel. Another problem I ran into was the height of the bucket seats and the fact that the mounts on the bottom did not in most cases match the floor configuration of the truck. Your only option are buckets out of a Nissan or other pickup truck, but like a said, you will have to fabircate the seat mounts to fit the configuation of the floor in your truck. I finally gave it up and wound up using the bench seat out of a mid '90's Ford Lariat. I also fixed the steering wheel problem with an Ididit column and a small Grant steering wheel.
