i see red X's. and it is a matter of just changing the tracks to make them fit in your truck.

I'm sorry if I ask lots of questions, there's just a lot of stuff I don't know (yet).

I'd be all over the $75.00 one. Couple threads here where people have put in different seats that don't match up exactly to the factory tracks.

Hey Socal, I figured I'd respond here rather than PM ya.

They both look nice. The one thing I'd take into consideration is, what does the weather get like where you are? Where I am, the summer is quite hot, and my seat is black vinyl. (It's not original to my truck, came out of a '69, but for $40 it was in great condition compared to my original).

I would honestly choose by sitting on it and seeing if it's comfortable to you.
