Replacing bench seat, whats ur opinion on best looking buckets?

I have an 87 Pickup 4x4, it had a good awful bench seat that I immediately tore out. I found some decent blue bucket seats from a newer tacoma but I think I might repaint the interior black (the outside is gray and I blacked out the rims). What is everyone's opinion of the best looking bucket seats for the pickups? For some reason I kinda want to go with more of a vintage black vinyl short back seat that you might see in an old jeep or even some hot rods. Whats everyones opinion?

Best looking bucket, gotta be the 63 Impala



Old school vinyl seats might as well keep the bench it's probably more comfortable and definately more sturdy.

neoprene is the way to go. Unless you spend all day in them, then you're going to want some nice expensive wool seats no matter if the look like your riding a yeti you'll never sit on anything better.

So you're more interested in how the seat looks then how comfortable it is?

I put a '98 Subaru Impreza driver seat in a truck I had and it looked good enough. I was more concerned about how it felt on my rear though.

spot on, looks are only part of it. I have seen seats that looked cool but than were like sitting on wooden bleacher seats comfortwise.
My late 80's-early 90's Prelude seats look cool and are comfy

my absolute favourite car of all time. My neighbour in the shop next to us has the Impala SS with 409 which he bought at a Barrette Jackson auction, it is absolutely beautiful.
