Bucket seats for you 67-72
Am I the only one that searches out every picture of a truck with bucket seats to see if they will look good in our trucks?
I am not a buddy bucket fan as I want something with a little mroe support. Then their are my picky things I want like no plastic lowering or very minimal,(seems most cars are covered in plastic around the bottom), I also want a removeable head rest so when I reupohulster them the top is at the window height and no higher..... Well the seat I have come to thing is a good canidate is the 01 or so Hyundai Tiburon seats.... not to much plastic on the bottom, very supportive, multi adjustable, and the perfect height. best off all I found a set for $20 bucks with a tear in them but I am covering them in leather anyways. http://images.autoshopper.com/NV/ab%...7U239101-5.jpg anyone else have others? |

I have been wondering how the cobalt ss seats would look in these trucks. I picked up a pair for cheap. I am debating between hanging onto them for a future truck or sticking them up on the cobalt forums for sale.

I love my '06 GTO seats. Couldn't be any happier.

that seat was made here in Fort Lauderdale Florida by a local upholstery shop. They cut and mold the foam, cut the brackets and put leather on it. That seat belongs to my buddies 72c10. I dont know how much it cost but the shop I am talking about said that he could redo mine to look the same for $750.00....the truck below.... |

Man, my brother used to have a good job at Lear Corp. (did many of the interiors for the Big 3), and he got me free leather seats for my Sierra, and also a spare set for his WS6 T/A! Wish I could still squeeze a couple more buckets out of that deal, but he got laid off!
I like those GTO seats, but they look a little thick, maybe limiting how far back you can put them... I might just look into some MasterCrafts, great seats, but a little pricey. |

Re: Bucket seats for you 67-72
I don't like seats where the back sits higher than the bottom of the rear window.

That looks great! I am looking for a solution for my 67 and I want buckets! One thing I hate is the seat covering the back window. You took care of that. Nice work! What did the seats and center council come out of? Matt |

We drove back from Columbus OH (non-stop except for fill-ups, 17hr trip) in a 61 Buick bubbletop w/the original bench seat (or original style). I thought if the shorter trips in the late-model, more supportive seats produced soreness, I would be broken by the end of the trip. Not @ all. I got out @ every gas stop thinking WTF?? No soreness or back tension @ all. Got up the next day like I drove just a few miles to work & not through 5 states (TX was the longest portion of the trip). Point is.... The buddy-buckets (or older car buckets) may not be so bad. I'm trying them out in my 64. |

Re: Bucket seats for you 67-72
I am in the middle of hunting a deal on some seats, what are you guys using for brackets to mount the seats in your trucks?
|
Re: Bucket seats for you 67-72
I put in a seat from a 91 F250 which is a bench with a fold down armrest. I needed a bench so both my boys could ride with me! Once I had it recovered, the total investment in the whole project was about $200, and it looks great!

Re: Bucket seats for you 67-72
look at the H2 or H3 seats can remember. They can be made to look good and almost period correct.

Re: Bucket seats for you 67-72
i used the bucket seat brackets that came with the seats. lined up the outside bolt hole with the original hole in the floor and drilled 3 new ones and then it bolted right in with no cutting and welding other than cutting off a locating pin thingy that stuck out the bottom of the bracket in front. then just bent the 2 front bolt hole areas in the seat brackets flat
