I’ve been wanting to convert my bench seat into 2 bucket seats with a center console. Are there any recommendations of any seats and console that will fit?

Is your focus comfort, looks, or originality?

Personally, I prefer original looking buckets. As luck would have it, I find them comfortable too. But some people want a more modern seat because it fits them better. And some people want a sporty, race car type of seat.

Any seat will fit any vehicle with enough fabrication. It depends on your fabrication skills. I prefer the Lexus 330/350 seats but it's not a bolt in

What I’m thinking for the 73 K20. Bench seat can be done this way by contouring the foam. Like the look of those buckets. Seriously look at the obs 400 trucks for seats that pretty much bolt up.
