Does anybody have a recommendation for a replacement front bench seat for my truck. The original was replaced with buckets and I'd like to get a bench back in there. Thanks for any input!!

Hello dv8,

Welcome to this site.

First, if you want an original seat, post a want ad in the Swap Meet (link is at the top of this page).

Next, if you want an original seat, have patience. There seems to be plenty of people looking to change to bucket seats.

If, however, you are looking for advice on what type of bench seat will work, you will probably get some good advice from people posting here.

Tim

I have a 54 with a bench seat, and I have considered switching to buckets because the bench really gets to the lower back after a little while. Why do you want to pull the buckets out? And are you aware how uncomfortable the bench is? Does anyone know what kind of buckets work well in a 54? (GMC)

someone on this site mentioned using dodge caravan buckets. i had thought of using them because i had up until a month ago a caravan and found the seats very comfortable even after 20 yrs. of use. i thougth i would get the low back type. RON

It was I...Mine came out of a pretty new Chrysler Town and Country..They are the high back, but the seat height is perfect and they are very comfortable..I put them in my 54..Both adjust, and have arm rests..Found them by taking my tape measure and spending the day in the boneyard...They took them out and loaded in the back of truck for $100.00..Steve

See some people using 01-04 GMC,Chevy Silverado seats. They have the shoulder harness built in. They appear kind of pricey on ebay. but its a great way for the 3 point seat belt system. I did see two at IOLA for $200 a piece, they were new. Just could not commit yet.
