I need to fix the brakes and would like to upgrade at least the fronts to a large power disc setup. I need to replace the steering column and I would like to add power steering, too. Also, can anyone recommend a good set of donor seats that will fit well in this cab? The original bench frame was broken and I tossed it. Do later model truck seats work or are seats from a car a better fit? I need to get these things figured out before I move on to swapping in a motor an tranny.

Some of these wrecked cars have some real nice seats & can be bought reasonably. Take a few measurements.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Front seat bolts are almost perfect placing, you need to drill new holes for the rears. The 95 ( I think) and newer seats have the seat belts attached to the seats.

I think it`s a mid 90`s Chevrolet seat.
The problem with mine is even when it`s all the way back against the fuel tank, my stock big steering wheel is right in my lap.
I`m going to be replacing my tank with a rail mounted one so I think this will solve my problem.
