That is one very nice truck.  Love the woodgrain interior pieces, the overhead console looks like oak. (or faux oak)  Pretty sharp!  :)

I got the ealier interior because one my truck didn;t have interior and we had the 76 behind the shop for parts and I kinda like the fat wood grain on the door panels more than then 81-87 skinny stirp

superior customs where I got the wood grain from but front pieces had to be specially made to do away with the window cranks because I have power windows and ran switches to overhead console  ;D

Well originally i didnt want to put them in there either but truck didnt have a seat and spent all day in junkyards and found those and looked like it was gonna start pouring so I just grabbed them because the next day was my birthday and wanted to take my driving test so I only paid 50 dollars for them and spend like 5 hours that night adjusting fitting and welding lol but it wasnt that hard i used square tubing and took the bottoms of the seats off fitted it to the tubing and then welded the brakets as one piece to the floor but actaully the seats were pretty close to chevy holes but way to short is why i used square tubes to give it a little height to it

i really like how they look. someone suggested some toyota seats as well. i don't wanna lose my bench seat, i need the extra spot for a carseat if need be lol. or a booster for my 4 yrd old. so maybe something that has the flip down center, console on top then folds back up for a seat? i'd rather stick to chevy but don't know of which models to start looking at for that option... i also want the overhead console.

see 2502, i'm in the same boat.  we have 3 kids and it's bad enough that they can't all ride in the truck at once (unless ya use the bed) but we gotta at least be able to take one and my wife...but that the same time, i don't want a bench seat in my truck anymore...it's too boring looking and it's not really comfy.  soooooooo...i'm gonna swap in a set of buckets (probably 88-94 high back buckets reupholstered in black/gray) with a center console that folds up into a middle seat (such as what a 99-07 Silverado/Sierra has...) then i have my 3rd seat but my comfortable buckets i want...

that's what i want. i was looking at ebay, they called it a jump seat? it looks small dunno if i want that, but i need to see one up close. there's a set on there now, not sure where the location is, but he's got the bid at 99 cents. seats are great condition, no one's bidding on them and there's not a whole lotta time left on them either.
