Notching the seat is a good idea I hadn't considered. But I already got the Audi buckets (good price -includes electronics). I did paint them using the SEM product (easy to get from Eastwood). They appear to resist scuffing very well. Color looks consistent. I'm pleased with the result. The buckets also appealed to me because I was a able to find a center console with cup holders, that after modifications, fits well (I really wanted cup holders and a place to stow misc. junk. I think I will add 12v jacks as well). The interior looks sharp, but the downside is that the seats and console look a bit out of place (too new) in a fifties truck. A notched seat appearance-wise would certainly look "period-correct."
