Preferably something newer that doesn't look like a homeless crack whore has been doing business on it for the past year. :)

What kind of time frame are you looking at? I have a NICE bench with new foam and upholstery in my k10 that's going bye bye when I put buckets in which will hopefully happen later this summer.

I'm looking at ASAP, since right now there are buckets in this truck that aren't even bolted down, and I'd rather not waste time and drill holes just to take them back out. Maybe we can work out a trade, depending on what you're looking for. The buckets in this truck are in good shape, but they're not racing seats or anything.

is this for your new 59 truck? if so you have to remember those trucks are narrower inside than a newer full size truck because of the inside steps. i had a 1955 stepside before and it actually had a rear bench seat out of a mini van in it and it fit perfect. you might want to take some measurements of what will fit first. i think a rear seat out of a blazer would be closer to what you would need. its all personal preference though. if a rear seat will fit and work for you i have one that is in great shape as far as i know....i would have to look again. its out of an 85 k5.

As Todd has said the inside of those cabs are narrower than the later trucks. I've owned every year truck from 1949-1954 and then i also owned a 1959 as well (about the same size interior as the 1949-1954). A rear blazer seat would be too narrow and a later truck seat would be too wide.

yeah that mini van seat was just right......might be a pick and pull run in your near future.

Yeah it's for the '58. It is a bit narrower, but not quite as narrow as the 54 and earlier. I have 58" between the doors which pretty much rules out late model fullsize stuff, but minitruck stuff is too small. Not sure what I'm gonna do yet...
