Title: 1990's seat in 85 c20??
Post by: Walker11 on September 09, 2015, 10:55:14 pm: I'm relatively new here so bare with me. If I missed an existing thread on this topic feel free to lead me in the right direction.

I was snooping through craigslist and found a newly reupholstered bench seat from a 1991 Chevy pickup for a pretty good price. My seat in my 85 is intact but horribly faded, dirty, and overall gross looking. Does anyone know how well a 90's bench will fit in a C20? I doubt its a direct bolt in, but will there be tons of modification needed or just a couple new holes? Suggestions? Better options?

That doesn't sound like much fun lol. Maybe I'll just have mine recovered or see if I can get my mother to fire up the sewing machine (since neither me nor my lady can run one :P ) and make a slip on cover for my seat.
