Roscoe's mouse-turd-filled seat went to the dump yesterday and I'm going to need something to replace it. When I rebuilt Way Cool Jr I used a pair of '95 Cadillac STS heated power leather seats. Fancy stuff, and very nice!
...but on Roscoe I want a bench seat that's comfortable for long-distance driving. My purpose for this truck is long-distance hauling of my race teams' cars. I want a built-in center console that folds up into seating for a third person, just in case something happens to one of our other support vehicles. I was thinking that a split seat would be nice so the passenger can recline, but honestly that's not a deal-breaker. Manual controls are just fine, although electric is preferred. If the seats don't have heaters, it's my plan to install them with an aftermarket kit. Please note that I still have the seat frame and sliders from Roscoe, and fabbing a seat mount is fairly easy for me.
Most importantly it has to be comfortable for a ten-hour drive to a bunch of guys who are passing into their 50s, and temperature-wise I find leather much more comfortable than cloth.
Who's done a bench seat swap or knows of a seat setup that meets the criteria?
Mandatory: Comfortable, has a center console, and available in a junkyard for a couple Benjamins.
Very nice: Electric controls, seat heater, leather, split seat.
