NCD1966 · 08-22-2010, 11:24 PM

just got my set back for my 66 step. one of my dads workers been working on it for over 2 years. the lines dont quite line up but I cant complain the guy did it for free!

66GTO66C10 · 08-25-2010, 12:37 AM

Could someone please help me identify this bench seat? I bought a 66 C-10 and this was in it. I know it is not original because the mount holes don't line up with the factory holes. I would like to use it, but I need to know what it is from so I can order the correct upholstry kit. Thanks!

Looks like an 88-98 Chevy/GMC frame.

Pic of my front seats, they are from an 01-07 silverado and flip forward for rear access. My rears are 3rd seats from a Yukon or Tahoe.

66farmer · 12-07-2010, 10:08 AM

I LIKE your front seat, can you give me a little info on the install.
Thanks

sahnobi · 12-19-2010, 12:09 PM

the old bench seat that was in the truck was actually really nice but i got too good of a deal on some nice bucket seats and then to top it off i traded some guy my bench seat for a new chrome bumper window cranks battery box and a holley carb lol

64 CHOP TOP with 6 way power BMW seats and blazer console.

All of these late model GM seats are pretty much the same for mounting. They are not a direct bolt in with the holes but a little fabrication work and 8 bolts and it is done. I used these seats because of the shoulder straps and my wife and kids ride in it so wanted to be safe.

I bought a pair of these seats in leather, power everything for my C-10 and was heartbroken when I found that, being 6'2"", I couldn't use them account of the restricted legroom situation they create even with the gas tank removed.

Re: 3rd row seats from a 01-06 Yukon/Tahoe you used. Did you use the mounting brackets from the 3rd row donor, so they can be removed?
Thx!

Yes, I built mounting brackets so the seats can be pulled out like suitcases if I don't want to use them.

Has anyone swapped the late model (approx 2000 and up) split bench seats w/ the center drop-down console into a 60-66 WITH a manual transmission? I was thinking of doing this for my truck, but want to keep the manual behind a LS engine most likely, and think that I may have to go with the late-model buckets without a center console.

frmula505 · 12-19-2010, 02:32 PM

My 60 has the seat out of a 90 Lincoln Town car. ($35 at the scrap yard). Took out all the electric motors and made my own mounts.

k1rodeoboater · 12-20-2010, 12:32 AM

probably a really dumb question...but will a 69 GMC pickup seat bolt into the stock locations on a 66? I'm gonna get the seat anyways since it's $20 and in so-so shape. It'll need to be recovered and possibly new foam, but I'm trying to stay with the old school style bench

I'm pretty sure it will, I haven't tried, but several people have told me the 67-72 seats will fit in the original location.

Sweet, thanks for the reply. I had only found 1 or 2 posts indicating that someone had installed a 67-72 seat in a 60-66 but they didn't say if they bolted into the stock holes. I do vaguely recall a post by someone saying that the 67-72 seats are slightly wider than the originals.

That said I've been mulling over if I want to go with a more modern seat with a built in 3pt after trolling through all of the seat swap threads. Some of those seats look damn good...and the arm rest/storage is nice to have...
