The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Interiors Late gmc bucket seats

Has anybody ever put mid 90s bucket seats in a 60-66 truck? Not hip to buckets, but need something better and i know the bench seats fit well.

i am putting 2000/2005 buick lesabre seats in my 54, they have 60/40 split and console and built in shoulder seat belts. ron btw you can go to my webshots and see the seats. i tried to post and couldn't. ron

I'm putting 95 GMC Suburban front seats and console in my 56. They are a perfect fit and still allow the tank behind the seats.

I have a customer that has several of the 47-53 trucks that he has made street rods out of. He always uses the Mazda pickup bucket seats. Not real sure about the years of seats.
maybe late 80,s early 90,s. He cuts the floor out around seat tracks with seats at salvage yard and welds them in. They are comfortable too. To each there own. Tom

These look like comfortable seats, and i could build a console for speakers and allow me to keep my in cab tank. I just don't want to look 70s style. Might cause a hankerin' for side pipes and shag carpet!

if you are thinking about a console go to, www.classictruckconsoles.com. ron

The only problem I see with seats like the GM/Chevrolet Yukon/Tahoe seats is the lack of room inside the cab to utilize all of the features in these seats. The integrated seatbelt is a no brainer, but in order to use things like electric seat adjustments and still have the headrest in place either my knees will be in the dash or I'll have to bust out the rear window. I'm planning on putting a rebuilt bench seat with lumbar support back in my '65. I'd love to have tilt, reclining, power, heated bucket seats... but in my cab and being 6'1" tall, I'm going to have the seat all the way back and the only features I'd gain would be up and down, and maybe heat if it has it. Lumbar support and heat can be added to original seats and I really don't think I'd use the up and down feature once I had the seat set. Just my lay on the situation.

CONSOLE? !!!
The best thing about these old ADs is that you can slide out the passenger side and step right onto the curb, without having to stick your backside into traffic like all those other turkeys. Otherwise, the only way to get to the curb is by climbing over all that taradiddle in the middle.
And, if you flipped the handle on the driver side, you can lock the truck and just walk away. Anybody in the slow lane would never even know you'd left.
Put that in your console and sip it.

I realize you are entitled to your opinion and that's great! But your tone is borderline flaming. Everyone here on this forum has different goals and different tastes. That's part of what makes it a great forum. If I choose a set of buckets and console, it doesn't have one iota of effect upon you. For MY EVERYDAY DRIVER, I choose the comfort and convenience of a console in my TASK FORCE. :p

Has anyone tried the seats from a Jimmy or Blazer from the 90's ? These trucks are narrow and I would guess the seats are a bit smaller than the full size Suburbans and 1/2 ton pickups.
The vehicles came in a two door so the passenger seat flips forward somehow for acces to the back. Might be handy to get behind the seat area in your pickup.
