I have a 61 GMC Fleet Side long bed that I am restoring that needs a lot of work. I have made a lot of, some, headway and am faced with finding a replacement seat for it. What I would like is a later model bench style manual seat with a center console built in. Any suggestions would be appreciated if even different than my description.

If memory serves me, the Suburban and Tahoe and Silverado trucks from the late 1990s work well and the seat belt shoulder harness is incorporated into the seat. Trailblazer seats are that way too. I was in the salvage yard the other day and a Cadillac DeVille had seat belts that way too. If you find a seat that you like and want to install seat belts, here's a DIY Seat Belt Installation that you might find useful that shows how I did it. Can you share some photos of your truck? We wanna see.

I agree! These are the only seats that look right in my opinion of course other than stock. Matter of fact most cars and trucks older than like 1970 look rather off with high back seats. Those era of Chevy seats actually have somewhat of a low back and look proper. I had gotten a set of seats off a 98 Tahoe Split Bench but ended up selling them. I just couldn't see me with those high backs and drilling all kinds of holes in my stock C10!
