My point was only that these later model seats never look like they belong, IMO they are not in harmony and mostly out of proportion to the size of a 67-72 cab. I like bucket seats if I found a good retro set that I thought looked like they would work in both style and size I would buy them and fit them...no question.
Sorry if I've stepped on any toes...this is just my humble opinion.
i dont think that anyone feels you were stepping on any toes. You are entitled to your opinion just as much as onyone else.
I agree with you about some seats not looking right in the cab of our trucks, but some other people on here may feel a bit different. I used to have a seat out of a 99 Dodge truck in my 71.....hated it after a week! it was too big and I pulled it out. Now I have a 91 F250 seat in there and it is much smaller in scale and I believe it looks great. I think the seat you instal depends on what other mods you have done.....everything has to flow in my opinion
