Replacement truck seats.

I have a 79 F150 standard cab and want to replace my old truck seat. Has anyone used Suburban Seating Products? I like the 40-20-40 setup, but the prices are on the high side. Any help would be great.

There's another place you can try...I'm pretty sure the website is called Discountvantruck . com. They have a selection of 40-20-40 truck seats as well, and you can outfit the seats with options like power, heat, power lumbar, etc.

Might be worth a shot...not sure about their prices, tho.

I got a nice bench with a fold down armrest with cup holders out of a 88 lariet from the local u-pull for $20. I pulled it on a half price wednesday. I also seen a lot of nice seats from the Cash for clunkers trucks.

I'm in the process of re-doing the body and interior on my 77 F-150. I think the newer seats look very out of place in the 70s truck. It reminds me of taking a Cadillac seat and putting it in a Model T! OK, it's not that extreme but it just doesn't look correct to me. I am going to buy a re-upholstery kit from either LMC, AutoCrafters etc for around $225 and re-upholster the seat myself.

Seats

Thanks everyone for your hits. Good seats don't last long in the yards around here, so I left my # with them when one comes in.
Thanks Behemoth, Discountvantruck.com prices are about half of Suburbans.
