Tri Year Seat Choices
 

to those who have done it before, anyone know what seats would be great donor seats to a '55 Chevy? Buckets, bench etc? Any companies I should look into?

Thanks :thumbsup:

any companies who make direct bolt fit in seats? Bucket, bench etc?

No pictures currently. But doing a 57 with 64 Impala buckets. Outer bolts on seats bolted right up no issues. Inner required a little spacer welded to the floor and a simple bolt through the floor, after drilling and tapping the spacer once it was welded to the floor

how do they fill up the area?

pretty good actually. We are using a 62 Impala rear, and welded in the 62 package tray also. WE used a 62 Fairlane center console. Car is in paint right now so it will be a few weeks before I start interior install

If you wanted a stock style seat ......there is a company ..... I think it is glide engineering ?????? that is making an updated version of the original .

Thank you sir! :thumbsup:

Glide is a good choice for a stock style seat that reclines, If you go with buckets make sure there wide enuf to fill the area good. Just go to the salvage yard and take a look around.

My STOCK bench was re-done by Gabe's (15 years ago now... so it's dated). It's the most comfortable car I own other than my daily driver.

Tracy would be the one to tell you what could be done to modify a stock seat?? Or your upholsterer....

Not to hijack the thread, but is that an electric bench seat Greg?

No it's not electric.


And I can reach the pedals if it's ALL the way forward!

Greg....two words. up date. :lol: . There are alot of seats that work on tri fives, Ill bet I have done at least 50 of those cars thru the years and have seen alot of seats in them. Walk thru a salvage yard and take a tape measure with you, Most seats that are in the 22 to 24 inch wide range look best.
