bucket seats

Post by aramil »

well i almost bought a pair of almost mint condition mustang buckets that where red and would have matched my interior perfect but.... some one bought them for $50 not even a half hour before i called :cry:

but a friend is giving me three bucket seats, a matching pair out of a 80ish s10 blazer with the center console that are black with red stripping, and an air ride seat with the mounts. i was kicking around the idea of the blazer buckets because i like how they fell the side bolsters hold me very well so i dont have to worry about leaning out and they are tilt and slide, i know i would have to fab a way to mount them but what do you guys think? no opinions are unwanted, is it a good idea or a bad one?

thats what i was thinking fordman, its my truck add what ever little touches i like, and it fits with what i want to do in the long run i want a modern looking interior and a drivetrain and suspension built to keep up with modern cars.

i think the air ride would be better but i already know the seat is way too tall and i only have one of em.
