Seats for the project truck: Tahoe vs Recaro

[Jimmy P]

Came across a pair of cheap recaro seats the other day...real nice shape. Im trying to decide which seats I should use in the project truck. I also have some obs Tahoe seats that I was considering. The tahoes are all power and more comfortable but lack the support that the recaros have. What do you guys think? Which ever one I go with...they will be re-done to match my interior.

recaros.. i also see a pair of expedition seats in a junkyard and they look really good they are just asking 120 for them

[97Silverado]

The Recaros. They will look alot better in that standard cab....sportier.

[tdrumm]

the Recaros. Maybe without the headrests :dunno:

[97Silverado]

Oh and send me the 'Hoe seats.

[Jimmy P]

Recovered Recaros :read:
Your truck is full custom, don't stop with the seats :cool:

[CKTA]

I'd say recaro's, but i really don't like those for some reason. :think:

[DjLunchbox]

sell ya a nice pair :naughty:

[Jimmy P]

sell ya a nice pair :naughty:

lol you ever install that pair I sold ya?

[dante81_98]

recaros. they will look best i think.

[thecodeman]

Sell me the tahoe seats, I'll sell my stock seats to donnie:D

[Chuggs]

The Recaros, no question about it :cool:

To be honest, neither of those seats look like they suit your truck...

Some C5 buckets or even the knock off C5 buckets would do the trick...

I know I know...give yah a branch off my money tree haha....

I actually hate seats that have the headrests incorporated into the seat especially in a reg cab truck...so the c-5 seats are out. I also had my eye on some SSR seats but they too are all one piece...something just doesnt seem right to me. If I wasnt so concerned with cracking my head off the back glass in an accident i wouldnt run headrests at all.

Same here. Maybe because they're black you can't really see much of them. They'll probably look a lot better when they're recovered.

[DjLunchbox]

lol you ever install that pair I sold ya?


LOL nope...hehe. they make nice porch space taker-uppers :LOL: they might go into the truck for next year. recovered in black suede or somehting. i'm not sure if i like the headrest part of them tho. i also have acura seats that i may use without the headrests :dunno:

Tell me about it, I have Suburban buckets in my truck and when I pulled the headreasts to run some syn-leather seat covers they looked AWESOME with no headrests. I ran it like that for three days before I realized that even though they looked cool my head sticking through the back window would trump that cool factor pretty quick.

I don’t mean to take over the thread :jacked: but I figured it would be better to ask my question here rather than start another one....anyway I would love to go with recaro seats but I have been looking around and as good as they are if not the best they are just a tad bit to rich for my blood. So I was thinking of going back to my first original choice which was Corbeau TRS seats but then after reading around for a while on fullsize and what not I haven’t been hearing all that good of feedback about corbeau's seats and products in general. Now the whole reason I want bucket seats is I have a 91 Silverado and its a standard cab with bench seat with the arm rest well this is all nice and good besides the mirror fact that I’m 6'6 1/2 and about 205 pounds...I’m taking that you get where I’m coming from the bench is nice and what not but I need all the added room and support i can get and that’s why I want to do the switch. Any and all feedback and or personal stories would be greatly appreated (sp?) and if I were to go for the TRS's would i want the regular or the wide version I’ve been trying to find a dealer so I can go and sit in a few but I haven’t yet found one yet....thanks alot

Go walk around a salvage yard. Lots of OEM seats have awesome lateral supports like a good Recaro or Corbeau and would be a lot cheaper to pick up. Walk around and if you see something you like, park your butt in it and see how it feels. I have a friend who bought some Corbeaus for his truck, but he sold it a few months after buying them so he didn't get to know them that well.

the pair that I sold djlunchbox were from a suzuki swift, which were made by recaro and actually more comfortable than these black ones I just picked up.
