Seat swap

I would like to install a seat with built in seatbelts when I'm finished restoring my 70 crewcab.

Which OEM seat do you guys/girls suggest I look for at the wreckers?

Comfort and adjustabliliy are my main goals

When I wanted to replace the seats in my '04 Ranger, I spent some time with a tape measure looking at many cars. I finally settled on leather power seats from an '04 Altama and welded up aome adapters from scrap angle-iron ...... looks good, feels good.

Seats in the 03-up Expeditions are great

> Which OEM seat

Chevy might be a good choice.

Any reason you can not add 3 pt seatbelts to the 1970? I put them into my 1971 F-100 without too much hassle and left a short article in the 67-72 forum.
