I don't remember you mentioning the bench seat. Is it from another truck, or is it a great upholstery job on the original?
I've got a '57 Chevy P/U project on hold while I finish a couple of other projects but I like planning ahead.
I've noticed the price on new aftermarket bucket seats gettin a bit lower but I'm inclined to leave it bench seat.

Thanks man I really appreciate it. About the seat, its a 1988-1995 Chevy Truck beach seat with arm rest. I wanted that seat since I started the project but I could not find one in my area. I saw one of my online buddy's at a car show and told him I could not find the seat that was in his truck in my area and he told me he would find me one and ship it to me at cost. Networking really works.

Hey, I thought that seat looked familiar, I used to own an '89 GMC. I would have thought it was too wide for the '57 cab. Thanks for the tip, it's got to be more comfortable than the original, looks like I may go junkyard hunting for one.

It fits like it was made for the 55-59 Cab. The mounts fits right between the two humps in the floor, drill 4 new holes and your bench seat is ready to go.
