Customs I need a new bench seat... Any ideas??

So, im redoing my bench seat in my '51 Chevy PU, and its been eatin way from either someones big ass butt groove, or some god awful bug! I want to re-do this seat the least expensive way possible... The frame itself is in great condition... I am concidering just stripping it, and then putting in a new wooden board, some new foam and fabric, then wrap it, staple it, then screw it on to the frame.. Anyone have any better ideas?

I put a late 90s full size GM truck bench seat in my 49 chevy pu. Fits perfect.

 

grow a big but . 2 birds one stone

 

Hey missrabbit.... check out my buddy brad's thread.... he uses a minivan seat I believe....

ditto. A seat from a mid 90's chevy fits great in many old trucks.

 

Try an ad in the wanted parts. Someone locally may have a good seat that they replaced with buckets.

 

I'd hate to be the voice of reason, but LMC truck has the pad for $35 and tailored seat covers for $169 to $189. Two hours and you're done and they would be brand new.

 

What he said!

 

Thanks guys!!!!!

 

And if i grow a bigger butt, nobody will be able/want to cruise with me..

 

If you dont have any luck, PM me. I have a REALLY nice seat out of a 56 Ford car in GREAT shape and will let it go really really cheap.
