Thought I would pass this along.I am puting new seats in my 55 2nd series.I bought a set of late model S10 seats and they fit in perfect.They have to be raised 5 to 5 1/2 inches off of the floor.They are the 60-40 seats with center armrests.Look like they were made for the truck.Hope this might be helpful to someone else out there.

Dale-

Thanks for this info. Sorry if this is a dumb, I-don't-know-my-S-10's question, but when you say 60-40, I'm assuming there was a split bench seat with armrests. I had an S-10 with buckets and can't seem to recall the split bench option.

Yeah,it is actually a split bench seat.drivers side is wider with armrest,about 60% of the entire width.I dont know what year S10 these are from.I bought them at a swap meet.I beleive they are from the new style S10.

In my '57 PU, I put a full size 60/40 seat out of a '92 Chevy PU which fit perfect and didn't have to raise it. But I did have to shim a couple of the mounting pads with washers. Just another option wink .

Seon.Glad that worked out in your 57.I measured my 2001 Silverado seat and it seemed too wide for my 55. maybe the 2001 is wider than the older models,or I might have measaured wrong.Anyway it is quite a job raising these S10 seats,but they are going to work out fine.If I ever do another one maybe I will try it your way.
