Mine is a 1951 pickup and I was wondering what kind of seat anyone has successfully replaced their original seat with. I'm in Southern California and the prices for an original seat are insane! I'm looking for an easy mod which may require a trip to the bone yard and some fabrication. ANY IDEAS!?

I have a 2001 Buick Lesabre seat and it comes with leather or cloth. also it has the shoulder belts built in and a console. i am 5' 10" and it fits me well. look in my photobucket and see the pictures. other models of GM cars of the same year or same era. will fit.

That depends on what you are after. Stock look? Custom?

Good point 2tone. I didn't specify. Honestly, I don't care as long as it looks ok and requires little modification.

Other than making the brackets my seat fits fine in my 54.

I had a real true quality craftsman make one for me. That is what he does in a very busy reputable business. He'll do just about anything you want to do. The web site is www.bengelsoff-road.com and I'm having him build me another to replace one in a '32 Chevy I have as a daily driver. His shop is in Spring Valley, CA just east of San Diego.
