Truck seats

The topic of seats comes up on a regular basis so I thought I'd post this. While surfing eBay I came upon an auction from this company, Glide Engineering Inc,http://www.glideeng.com/products.htm. I don't know anything about them but thought their product looked pretty nice. Just thought I'd pass it along to anyone looking for a nice seat to put into their truck.

Glide is top-shelf and their seats are found on most high end trucks. In my club they are the standard. For anyone who saw the 56 F100 at the Grand National Roadster Show, the black one that took top honors for best truck, that is a Glide seat. They are not cheap but well worth the extra dollars. One of the nicest features they have is a fold up lower seat cushion that allows you to easily get to that large storage area under the seat. I haven't seen any of their products on eBay, I guess I'll have to take a look now...thanks for the heads-up!

I didn't read the eBay ad through, it looks like an individual is selling a Glider seat setup and he listed their web site to check out.

It looks like someone bought this seat for a customer who changed their mind. This is the style my wife likes, I prefer the non-bucket-seat back style but if the price is right I guess I could live with it.
