Title: seat swap
Post by: 75_chevy on January 16, 2014, 07:11:34 pm
just picked up a seat out of a 95' or so 1500 4x4. got it mocked up in my 75' 2 wheel drive and it looks real nice. I love it. not sure how I'm actually going to secure it yet. 
surprisingly not torn on the driver side (or anywhere) junkyard for a c note (http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/01/17/e2upemas.jpg)

     AHH, the 60-40 split bench seat.  Those are one of my favorite type's of seats ( and the 40-20-40 split ).  There are a couple of threads on here with members making the swap.  As far as I know you will have to fab the mounts, I have not heard of anyone selling mounts.
     But it does look good.

looks too close from pics, that my legs would not fit under wheel comfortably.

I've been thinking about an updated seat for mine.  those from the mid nineties look great..  i would have to imagine there is SOME way to fab up some brackets or something.    My family is not afraid of a challenge..  i'm gonna exhaust that option before spending big $$$: i really like what i see here:http://www.discountvantruck.com/truck40-20-40lowbackseats/truckseatsDelReyLowback.htm  but that is a little pricey
