Got these at the local Pull-a-Part for $40.00 a piece. They are aftermarket rear seats from a late model suburban. They are very comfortable. Got the console from the same burb and added the cup holder.

I got some front buckets out of an 04 mercury mariner (ford escape) heated, leather and power. Also grabbed a center console out of a 04 dodge ram for the extra seat.

It took a lot of fab on the brackets to get it to sit low enough but they turned out great and so comfy.

I have an original c10 cheyenne tach ac bucket seats by the numbers but somewhere along the lines it lost the buckets and gained a bench. Is there anywhere to buy a decent set of original buckets in red?

Subaru Imprezza and a blazer console.
Dirty seats will get recovered someday.

These seats are from an 05 trailblazer. They are big--but comfortable. Still have to hook up the electrics and decide whether or not I want the console there.

Hello, and Happy New Year guys, loving the idea's. Now with the Holidays and my daughters near Christmas b-day out of the way I can start focusing time and effort back to my truck.
skygmc, I was entertaining using a '95-'99 chevy front 60/40 bench w/ the center console. But after seeing you and a couple others using the back crew cab seat ('01-'07??)I am interested. I like the fact that these seats have the built in cup holder. I guess I am a victim of my modern cup holders. But seriously how much cutting and hacking was required to fit in your truck? looks like you made a marriage btwn the original frame and the later frame?
I Had once upon a time '88-'94 40/60 bench in my '66 C10 (which is what these would be going in). Those were great minimal fab. but i sold those when i stopped driving the truck to tear into it. Sorry long story short, do you have a few more pics of what you encountered in your install?? Any feedback is appreciated as well. Thanks

Love that seat! You bought new foam and they cut it? There is still enough cushion for the butt? Is that total custom or covers you bought? How much did that run you? Or should I say how much do you want for it?

I'm considering having mine "cupped" out like that. The big issue is that I'd have to have a new cover made.

Here's how mine currently looks.

Have these in my 69, can't adjust them. With them all the way back(i'm 5'8") it still puts the steering column in your face & pedals to close... cushy though.

Picked up a grey cup holder out of a 88-94 Silverado at pick n pull, cleaned it up, painted it black, and installed it.

Special thanks to "BugzC10" for the idea and sharing a link to show how he mounted it.

Canuckvetter how do those seats fit in the cab? I like the way they look. Are they tight or do you have good foward and back adjustment.

That's awesome I did the same thing except mine are out of an 03 second row seat Tahoe and still Functionable as far as the bottoms pulling up and the backs folding forward . I had headrests cut and bolstered the seats just a little more

My builder was a F---d man so the power seats are out of a Mustang. They still have the airbag tag. Cute hugh? That is also why the truck is painted 2011 F---d Mustang Grabber Blue. Not many around to be sure.

Not mine but a nice option for 67/72's.. The seat is a 60/40 bench with fold down armrest form a 90's Chevy or GMC.

I would like to run these in mine. Do you have the gas tank in the factory location still?

What I gather from this thread is...Anything goes!
You can adapt almost anything but sometimes you need to adapt or lower the seat mounts.

I know this is an old thread, but these have to be the best seats I have seen. Best thing is, no modifications or special brackets needed.

My seats came out of a Mitsubishi sedan at the self help wrecking yard. Got the electric adjusters working nicely and for $70 I'm pretty happy with them.

Trying to keep my K1500 mostly on the original side....this seems original unless you happen to know trim levels fairly well.
