It formerly had power seats but they were garbage and the shop threw them out. I looked under them and they were very rusty. They would have needed to be re-covered/springs painted I guess.

He used small pieces of channel mounted on top of the support lip and mounted the seats to the channel pieces. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2003 Posts: 445 | Recoil, I used bucket seats and consol from a 98 Tarus Ford.They fit the cab just fine.My truck is a 51chevy 1/2

What are your needs? Sometimes it's based on how big you are, and how much leg room you need. Are you running a four speed or floor shift? Do you want shoulder belts? Are you going to cut out the original seat riser? Are you going to keep the gas tank inside the cab? Is this going to be a finished product, meaning will this be a driver or beater truck or are you going to finish this one up nice? I like the Chrysler sebring convertable seats with the built in shoulder belts, they were one of the first to do this combination, now there are a lot of seats like them. Make sure you investigate supporting seat belts no matter what style you choose, safety is key when installing a non- stock item like these to your existing floors. Get measurements so that when you do find seats, you are prepared, keep them in your wallet when going to the junk yard or swap meet. Decide on a color and fabric too. Check out ebay for custom trucks like yours and view all of the pictures. ebay sells tons of seats all of the time and you can get quite a selection to choose from. Good luck! ........g | | |
