I have a 53 study c-cab truck. I would like to take out the bench seat and install bucket seats. Anybody know what kind of vehicle I could get bucket seats from?

I'm betting there are a lot of bucket seats that could fit in your truck. One good suggestion I heard before is to get a couple of seats from a convertible, such as a Chrysler Sebring. The reason that's a good way to go is that you will have shoulder belts that are built into the seat back.

I am getting Sebring conv. seats installed in my 62 Champ tomorrow. It is a little tight but no tighter than the bench seat. If I can get a floor shift worked out for my automatic I will put in a tilt wheel and that should give me more room.
