I have a '98 1500 StdCab SB with the 40/20/40 split seat. The seat/truck had only 60k miles on it and the foam was flat, granted i am a bigger guy, but non the less I was sick of it. You may laugh and curse meoff this site but I actually installed a 2001 GM 40/20/40 split bench seat in my Dodge, I know, I know. But you know what, it almost looks like it belongs in there,the grey color matches and the truck now has 185k miles with the seat looking like the day i installed it. If you want to do this conversion you better be handy with welding brackets and have some time. Obviously the stock mounting brackets are scrap, but the seat is a perfect fit width wise and front to back, someone 7ft tall could drive my truck and have plenty of leg room, other than the fact that it sits a little higher than the stock one, you get used to it. The best part is I have 5 cup holders now, 3 fromstock (I have a REAL truck 5 speed manual). Anyone want pictures just let me know, I will email them direct to you, I am new on this site and not the most computer literate.

 

GOOD IDEA!!!

I will have to look into it...

Its no question in my book that the newer chevy seats are better than ours... cant say the same for the 98 and older seats though...


Could you get some pics?

Sounds like what i did last summer, i put 03 ram seats in my rc truck. Here is one pic I have lying around;

I wouldn't mind to see you you put your seats in.

Why on Earth would you need 5 cup holders?!?!

Seriously though, thats a great custom job. Well done!

 

Wouldnt mind seeing them I am trying to avoid re upholstering and can't find any leather seats for my std cab (i hate seat covers)
