I want to put some bucket seats from a 1992 Silverado in my 1959 truck. The buckets have seat belt as part of the seat. I've seen on the internet the seats and center seat/console fit in a task force truck. I don't have the seats yet, was wondering if anyone has done this and do the seats actually fit?

I don't have an answer for you Tommy.

I have the same truck, and I've had the same thoughts about seats with integrated seat belts. You might also look at seats from a 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS ( which I used to own). It also had the integrated seat belts and I think the rear seat back is a bit thinner in design than the Silverado seat, which might fit the tight space in the TF. I also thought of reversing the seats. Driver for the passenger, and passenger for the driver. Only because the shoulder harness retractor is a bit bulky in the corners of the cab.

For now, I'm using the original seat without any seat belts. That might change once I know how well the drum brakes work when I get it on the road.


When God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy in his work�this is a gift of God. He seldom reflects on the days of his life, because God keeps him occupied with gladness of heart. Ecclesiastes 5:19-20

Hey John,
Thanks for the input on the CTS seat. I may look at that. I've been driving my truck for 12yrs with the original bench seat . It had been re covered and extra padding installed at that time. I'm just not that comfortable sitting on it for long trips. I'm used to the seats in my 7007 GMC Sierra. I like the seat belts, as the crazy drivers around here make you want to have them in the older vehicle. I have seats from a 2003 chevy truck , I just haven't taken the old one out to see if the newer ones fit. I've heard people say they do and seen pictures of them in task force trucks, but my measurements with them sitting on the garage floor don't seem to fit the measurements of the floor of the truck.
