Nice,

Was looking through a local salvage yard the other day, found a wreked Lexus with nice leather buckets. Owner left before I could ask a price.

Also some nice black and red ones from a Neon. Will see if I can score a pair Monday.

They all look nice. After a hundred miles, your cheeks and back won't care how purty they are or how little they cost. Pick the most comfortable for you.

I have Nissan Sentra buckets in mine. They fit good, and are comfortable.

I went with seats from a '91 Nissan Pathfinder, they are pretty comfortable, matched the rest of my interior well, and were pretty easy to install, once I grabbed my big long-handled sledge hammer and flattened down the lumpy floor in my Luv's cab...lol.

I have the factory buckets in my truck right now..but I'll be swapping them out here in a while..trying to find some Isuzu Vehicross seats...leather Recaro design w/ black and gray leather

I'm trying to sell some stuff to fund a set for my RX-7.

Pretty comfy/sporty seat... And free of course since they're in my 7 now.

i got parts sonic send me a PM and ill let you know if i can help

The biggest hurdle with bucket seats is finding one that will set you far enough from the steering wheel and still let the seat back sit at the proper angle. I tried a set of Ricarro seats that had been custom built for a ford vehicle and then installed into a Yukon. I built custom brackets but could not get enough leg room with the back at the proper driving angle.
The thinner the seat is the better.

/\ This is true.

I put in a s-10 cloth bench seat and if it wasnt for my 150 lbs 5-7 frame, I dont think I could get in comfortably.

My 4X4 had a bench from I think a 60's Nova or something like that.
With the body lift also, I couldn't get my legs between the seat and wheel to get in.
So, it's out and for now I threw in a Peterbilt high back seat. It's not bolted down, but it fits nice and I'm thinkin'....

I have a Grant Steering whell on my Luv. I think there is a fair amount of people on here that use those. I think that decreased form the stock steering wheel diameter by an inch. I also remember earlier that the most important isuse is how comfortable the seat is to you. I would like to sit in a porsche seat and see how that is. I also want to check out a prelude too.

FIAA!

SFPP!

I just put a split bench/bucket front seat from a Dodge Dynasty in my 79 LUV. It's a little cozy for my 5'8" frame, but it's a lot better than the original rotted foam, broken wire bench that was there. My 5'2" wife thinks they're great. We just did a 300 mile round trip to Denver over the weekend. Besides, the salvage yard I got them from hasn't figured out he can actually get money for seats. He let me just have them, and will give me a better fit seat when he gets one. Not a lot to pick from at this point.

I agree with PapaG...Recaro seats from a VW GTI do look good..I have seen it done. Then again, the VW crowd wants a mint for those seats...especially if they do not need to be refinished. Good luck with your search!
