Aftermarket Seats for 88-94 C/K

Hi All

My ride (89 K2500 reg cab, long bed, 5.7 Ltr (k)) is almost finished with a frame up restoration... Luckily there was only one small "Watch out for that tree!" dent from a long ago 4 wheeling trip. Lord, the money I have spent...

Right after I bought it (new), I changed the bench seat out with a

40/jump/40 set up from a company called Emerson Seating. Sun fading, and a big ass have had there due with it... but it looks like Emerson is no longer in biz. Looking around, I was looking to replace that with true bucket seats:

The Corbeau A4 seat is just what I'm looking for (under a grand for both seats), but not much choice on the color (I have the Garnet Red Int). The SPARCO Siena is really nice, but pretty expensive... the above site doesn't look like they sell the brackets for the Sparco either.

What can I do? Anyone done anything like this with you truck?

All ideas, links, info gratefully anticipated.

I have the same issues, same color interior on a 3500. GM dyed all interior colors, so you could have it died. I noticed on that first choice, A4 they had an option for custom color.

Yea, but that's only for the leather option.... Can't stand leather... way to hot in summer, and cold in winter... I'd really love to get the "wide" version, but it only comes in black. Not sure how that would look in an all red int. The regular seat comes in "red", but I'm sure it's a a way brighter red than the Garnet... I think that might look clown-ish. The only option with those kinds of seats is maybe to have 'em re-covered at your local int. shop... But is sounds kinda dumb to recover a brand new seat, adding more cost...

Thank you for the input.
