Well I'm pretty curious myself.

I would imagine it should be farely simple to find something. I plan on spending some time in the JY tomorrow so hopefully I won't forget the tape measure. My Swepty's aren't in the state as me right now, so maybe you (or someone else) can post your seat deminsions. What do you think you have in mind? I'll probably look at everything from 5th Avenues to Caravans. Who knows? Although I think I'll have luck with Dodge trucks.

I didn't look in the yards but did look at many after market replacement seats plus a few at the local swap meets and just didn't want to spend the money they wanted after seat/adpaters were bought. Took mine odwn to a local shop, it was shot wires broken and down to bare frame, seat was a old pillow and a blanket. Had it rebuilt and its like sitting on my couch for comfort. Cost was just over $200.00

The seat out of my 66 is still in Missoula. Saddle blanket seat cover on it so I don't know what shape the original material is in. Comfortable to sit on though

I've got a original seat, no sagging springs, no rips or tears, reapolstered with matching visors and dash pad. $100

The spots on the seat, came clean.

i've got a bench seat from a 93 dodge pick up in mine from the p.o. he put bolts through the cab floor with metal plate's as extra support so the bolt has less chance to pull through. and if you notice the original mounts are still there so you can put in a original later if you want.

Whatcha gotta watch out for here is the way the seat is made, if you still have the seat tank, the seat back is made to fit around the fuel tank, in other words, the tank fits into the back of the seat. The seat from a car will have too thick of a back on it and you will end up with you're gut against the steering wheel. The seat from my buddies 2001 1500 short cab standard shift is perfect.

I've got a front seat from a '68 Newport hardtop that I'm looking at putting in one of the trucks. Width-wise, it is nearly on the money. The seat will need to be bolted to the stock truck tracks to work, but I do not have the truck seat out yet to see how this is going to work. The Chrysler seat has a center fold-down armrest. The leather is in real nice shape (turquoise, though!) and the cloth inserts need to be redone...got it for a $50 bill, so if it doesn't fit, it's going to make a fine shop seaat!

Whatch the thickness of the back of the seat, car seats are really thick, they take up a lot of room in these old truck cabs.

I'm looking to relocate the gas tank under the bed or use a saddle tank with a sending unit, so I'm not real concerned about the fuel tank.

If you're not concerned with space in the rear, get a tank from an old square Mack tank and put in the bed for now. Before I got my seat tank from Cowboy, I had a really neat wooden tool box where the tank is now. Let me measure up and see, but I think the older Cheby tanks well fit the frame.

Looks NICE. Where did you get the carpet? " I Love the mustang shifter, I've got one in mine also, At least for now."

There's nothing wrong with that. I wish I still had the seat from mine, it's been gone for many years. I've had the '69 since '83.
