Hey Roger,
I went back through my email - didn't see the exact date of the S-10 - from memory it was early 2000's. The "What Fit's Section" shows that any S-10 or Sonoma '94 or newer will fit.
The '48-'52 cabs trucks like mine are a little tighter than your's. I was working with a no greater than 52 inches wide restriction. The S-10 measures 48 inches wide by the door handles leaves me a couple of inches on each side which is good for seatbelts etc. A lot of guys go with 80's to '96 Ranger seats as well.
Good luck over there - Here is the link to the bible of what fits - it's a couple of pages down.

I'm now looking at other seats now. I have a few more questions about seat belts. The seats themselves are where they mount to? Is this for lap belts only? What about shoulder belts. After some thought and reading the Q&A thread about seats I'm even more confussed. Well kinda. Lol.

Roger,
most 3 point belts mount in two pieces... the buckle (latch) portion will mount to the floorboard under or behind the seat in the middle.
The belt portion will bolt to the floorboard beside the seat (left of the driver) and also above the seat behind the door. you can fab (or buy prebent) the mounting brackets for the shoulder anchor. The belt goes up from the belt reel mounted at the floor , through the shoulder anchor and back down... when you pull the little clippy thing over to stick it in the latch the reel will let out the belt.
go to julianos site and they show it very nicely Retractable 3-Point Shoulder Harness Seat Belts Lap Belts and Seat Belt Accessories - Juliano's Hot Rod Parts

Hey Roger,
Those look very nice - I like the fold down middle section.
The headrests might stick up in the window a bit - but they come in handy if you ever need the protection.
For comparison - I paid $325 for my S-10 seats that were recently re-covered. Do they fit the width/depth you were looking for?

In the info section it says 59" between door handles?
I measured a friends truck and it looked like 59" 1/2" for the width of his seats.

Well i bought some seats!!!! I got them from a local junkyard. They came out of a 2006 f150. They are bucket style with a jump/arm rest center. The the 2 buckets have built in shoulder belts and the center does too. Well you have to mount the sholder belt to the back wall under the window. I got everything, i even had them cut out the floor section that cover the whole seating area for install. I thought for the time i would take to get the seats all lined up and at the right heights. the floor in the 06 is not flat like mine. Seats cost $150 and they cut the floor for $75. Im in the garage now playing pretend driver, well im off for a drive!!!!(Insert Vroom, Vroom)
