Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

I picked up my seats from the upholstery shop today. These seats are out of a 2011 chevy truck. We cut them down about 4 1/2 inches, they should sit right at the bottom of the window.

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

These are the seats Ive decided to put in mine. They are black leather trailblazer seats. Both are power and heated.
I dont have them yet (still in transit) so I have no idea about fabbing the mounts. (supposedly they are relatively easy to install)--We'll see.

** I have since received the seats and they Will take some fabbing on the inside rails (outside rail is at least 2 in. higher) No hill for a stepper!!!!

These are nice! How much room is between the seats?

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

Has anyone put a bench seat from a 1960-66 Chevy? I've found one for cheap for my 1969, but want to see if it would work.

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

Just wanted to post mine....

2004 GMC Kodiak/Topkick (REAR) bench seat, chopped the brackets ~3", welded to factory bench rails.


I'll get it re-upholstered.... Whenever I do the interior.







The top is EXACTLY where I wanted it.

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

Love the different options seen here ! My stock bench is in really good shape but not so good on a messed up back. I like the newer Chevy seats with built in seat belts, really easy install. Also really want something with the head rests. I was in an accident quite a few years back, my ex and I were stopped waiting for traffic to clear and got rear ended by someone doing 65 (according to the investigating sheriff). The only reason our heads didn't go through the back window is a gun rack with my shotgun in it, our heads hit the gun. The rack did push the top of the window out about 3/4 inch though. The head rests may not look as clean but they sure are much safer. Something to think about ...

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

I just picked mine up from a local salvage out of a 2005 Silverado, the whole package for only $250. They are mint for 05, just need to clean the pop off from the wreck. The drivers seat is electric. Hopefully it's an easy install.

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

Hello, This this an old thread but I wanted to see if you had installed these seats yet? I just bought the same year seats and the mounting holes on the middle seat and inside rails of the outer seats are about 2" forward of the mounting support of the cab? Did you find that?

Nuke82

They are real simple to install I used the holes in the middle to bolt the console and seat then marked the other holes and drilled those. You will want to reinforce under the bolts and I shimmed the back of the track with front end alignment shims so the seat would travel back. Let me know if i can be any more help

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

Thanks for the tips Mikey. I was thinking about ordering a set of these Juliano's anchor plates to reinforce the new driver side holes, just to be on the safe side. The passenger side will get washers

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

I'm going with Buddies...well actually it was my wifes call. I votes for the bench. They'll be restored by then. She wanted buckets and a console but I told her we would have to by a different truck if I was going to drill holes in the floor.

Re: what seats did you put in your 67-72 Chevy truck ?

I used 2009 seats from a GM truck, and pull the seat belt from the rear seats of a 2000 dodge. I did do some cutting on the center to make it sit flush with the front of the sides but it was minor, then I only needed to drill holes.



This is a diagram showing the cut I made, this only moves the middle seat forward and might not be necessary.

I also use a small steering wheel.
