Glide I have heard are good seats, however I think I would choose a Wise Guys Seating instead. The prices are pretty close but the Wise Guy has a bench frame with a swing-down arm rest. They come with:
Center Fold Out Arm rest
2 Recliner Release Points
2-12 Volt Power Receptacles
16 Gauge Steel Frame
Foam Fabricated w/Multi-density Foam Types
No Sag Springs
Split Back
7" Slides
Risers

I saw one in a 50 AD yesterday was very impressed.

I as impressed with the seats as much as the door panels and headliners. I think I may look to them for the interior accessories and the seats from Wiseguys. Hopefully the colors will match the seats.

A buddy of mine put a Glide Eng. seat in his restored 52 3/4 ton flat bed truck. I drove the truck from Southern California to Montana (two long days) and it was very comfortable. I really liked the seat. I think both the bottom seat and top seat flip up for easy access to under seat storage (much easier than original seats). I guess the cons would be the cost and it is not an original seat, if that is important to you. I haven't had any experience with other after market seats.
