If you're pondering ditching the bench in favor of late model buckets, pick up a copy for your files. Tech articles usually take a while to hit the web version of the mag. Enjoy! | | | | | Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Nov 2001 Posts: 275 | Wholeheartedly agree. Great info. Read the article over the weekend. Wish I would have had it two years ago when two of us spent the better part of a day in the local salvage yards measuring and phoning another buddy back at the garage where my '56 was sitting. Ended up using the center seat and belts from a Tahoe. Perfectly snug fit. Wifey loves it.  | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | I looked through it and did not see anything but truck seats being reviewed. I have found the G-body split bench seats are a perfect fit for AD trucks. Other bucket options from passenger cars are also available. Good article though. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | Houston-
Good point! It would be nice to have a comprehensive article. Something's better than nuthin! | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 687 | Just opened my mag. I'm glad they gave the measurements for the older years because I know the seat I took out of my 59 is only 53". They are saying old school 64 is just less that 63" knew the cabs were wider but didn't realize that much! popcorn The Truth is Out There (Good day I learned something) | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | I looked for the mag today and picked up Classic Truck Trends. I thumbed through it before I bought it to see what was in the article and it was the wrong mag. They didn't have the right one so I didn't get it. Now I wish I had for an article on the TH200 tranny. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 142 Member | | Member Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 142 | I got mine in the mail yesterday , good article with good info. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 5,152 | Mine was in today's mail. I wish they had covered car seats, as someone else mentioned.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble... | | | | | Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 364 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2000 Posts: 364 | I've read the article...certainly no surprise relative to front seats...I've mentioned this before but what the heck...TF middle and back seats fit AD Suburbans on the existing mounting points...TF drivers front does not fit w/o modification (too wide)....passenger jump seat fits fine. (Although I haven't tried them...I wonder if 60-70 Burb seats might fit as well). | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 438 | SteveG-
Having seen your 'Burb in this month's gallery, I'd take your advice any time. Great work on a superior project. | | |
