    Seats

    I m working on a 57 step side and now its time to get a bench seat for it. I was told a 94-98 chevy truck seat fits well. Anyone else have any experience they care to share?

    You don't have the original seat?? Or are you just wanting to upgrade to later style?

        I have a '56 I was planning on finding one of those seats for to have upholstered in leather. I would love to hear thoughts.

          Engrguy: I'd bet that almost any Chevy truck seat up thru '72 or thereabouts would be easily adapted to a trifive truck... One way: Go to a junkyard and make some measurements.. (after measuring your truck from inner door to inner door..

            25 years ago it was the in thing to get new take outs from those trucks and install them in 72s. They fit ok but were not near as comfortable as the OEM one in my Cheyanne Super. I knew several guys who did this swap.

              Yes that is correct, the 1994 to 1998 Chevy/GMC full size truck bench seat is a popular swap and fits really well with minimal modification. Make sure you grab the seat with the tracks still attached to make mounting easier. 1988 to 1998 Suburban bench seats work just as well and are usually easier to find at the junkyard for cheaper. Check your local pull a part first before spending too much.
