Cash For Clunkers Seats for My B3C?

[thinwallet]

It seems like the Clunkers program should provide ample parts to modify the old bench seat in my B3C. Has anyone found a good marriage of a late model seat(s) for their Pilot House or, has anyone learned a sorry lesson the hard way? I'd be grateful to hear either way. Thanks

Ive seen some mid and rear mini van seats look right at home in pickups.

There's a wrecking yard near me that got most of the pickups from the Duluth-Superior area. I thought I'd go shopping. Now I'll look at the mini's as well.

Lots of dakotas and s10s with bench seats too. Saw a lot of amazingly nice trade ins at french lake. Crazy. Where abouts are you in MN/WI and does this yard have old cars too?

I'm in Superior but haven't found any yards with the very old cars or trucks. I did luck out and find a '53 that I scavenged a few items from.

Are you looking for buckets to replace the bench seat or is your truck missing the bench seat. Just curious.

I've got a bench seat, wrong color for the eventual truck repaint and it's neither original nor even fastened tp the truck. I hope that with all the vehicles about to be crushed, I can find something really nice while stillaffordable and ideally a 60/40 similiar to what I have and love in my new truck.

I bought the middle seats out of a Ford van. They have armrests, seat belts tilt and swivel. They were the right color and I was able to buy them for $35. I had to shorten the posts but that was easy. I kept the raised original seat mount so I can go back to original. My truck is a B4B, 1953. Good luck, Jim

Today I learned that seats do not hold up very well without windshields and windows to protect them! After slipping and sliding all over a slippery junk yard I did find a pair of leather buckets that were just the right color - that they were electric and heated was a plus. Now I can decide what the interior will look like?
