I have the stock seats. Man they suck. The sliders dont work nor do the reclining mechanism. (It's a King Cab) There's also very uncomfortable. I've had to drive with pillows on the seat. Anyways, I was wondering what would be a good seat to put in the truck. I don't want anything fancy. No Veilsides No Recaros. Just a simple seat that won't kill my a** haha. I've considered putting Prelude seats in it, but I realized that it was much more than it's worth.

I'm open to all suggestions.

I put geo seats in my 720, not direct but very easy to install.

I also put in seats from a 280ZX in my previous 720 - I think the bolt holes were an exact match, but there was a slight tilt (it seems like the seat was not quite level, leaning slightly to one side) so I then swapped back the original 720 seat tracks to the new 280ZX seat - this was much better though I had to drill one extra hole. Highly recommend the ZX's adjustable lumbar support - very comfortable compared to the soggy old stock seats!
My current 720 single-cab has had Honda seats swapped in at some point, but not sure from what model.

Ive got seats outta a mid 80s Bronco II in my 720. I bolted the stock bracket and slider to the seat and had to drill two inside holes on each side for it to fit. They're damn comfortable though and are able to fold forward so you can get to the back seats (if you got a KingCab version)

The second generation 300zx seats will bolt right in also... Here's mine with the seats from my '90 300zx installed in it...
