I am a newbie too but welcome from Montana. What are the seats out of? I am considering replacing the stock bench in my 77 with a 60/40 or buckets like yours. I hear 89, 90 Silverado seats will bolt right in. Used seats are hard to find in Montana because demand is so low and yards don't have room to store them.

His seats are out of a 99-up Silverado.
As for the 89-90 seats, you heard wrong.  They are narrower and you would have to bolt them to the current seat track.  There is a thread on this.

Thanks Captkaos regarding the seats. I later found the thread and you are right, they are too narrow from what folks are saying. Will start looking at 99 and later.
