what have some people used. my car has a set of low back buckets.. not really feeling that. i have an s10 bench but...i dunno. its kinda small. any better sources for a seat?
mid 70's nova split bench in mine made seat bracket for height. I had a stupid truck seat in it before but when people got in both front seat passangers would have to get out .. lol...
Can't go wrong with what came with the car. Stock bench seats are comfortable and fit the car well. A good upholsterer can contour the seat with foam before covering it if you want. I am going to run my stock bench in my '50. Since I chopped it 4 inches, the seat was too high. so, I sectioned the risers about 2 3/4 inches. I had to modify the floor in a few places - flatten out the tunnel, and make pockets for the runners at the rear. I also had to tweak the adjuster linkage that runs from side to side, I think I actually reversed it for clearance. Lastly, I had to trim the side valence to each seat. If you take your time and think it through, it isn't a bad project. Sorry, no pics right now. PM me if you want me to take pictures of what I did to my seat. I would need some time to take the seat out. I may do it anyways and post here when I have time, but it may be a while. Andy
Just went from S-10 buckets that came with the car when i bought it to the original seat. I hated the buckets and a friend found the stock seat with good springs for 50 bills. The seat does need to be recovered, but nothing fits like the original.
if i had a stock seat, i would use it. the upholstery is all recovered so redoing a stock seat wouldnt be a big deal to me...if i had one.. just looking for other options until i come across one.
Mine has an early 80's split bench from a cadi in it. Nice part is they are a bit thinner so I fit with the chop.
I believe a 65 el camino bench would work. I had measured it and its only about an in narrower and an inch lower than a stock seat
We have a pulled out Mini van seat, can't remember if it was a second or third row. Works GREAT! It is in a Sedan Delivery,48 Chevy. Did some mods on the mounting and like it way better than the 2 different sets of buckets we tried. Just measured the width and depth of the area and bought one from a custom shop that was tearing them out , found it on Craigslist!
