I bought this one and it's very very comfortable. I don't have any previous experience with any other seat but I can sit all day with no problem. I think I paid $875 for it down at that little chrome shop in El Paso next to the Cadillac man. They installed it for $25.00.

Bostrom is the Original supplier for International. You can get a decent price on a seat from Jubitz up in Portland, or you can just drop into any of the Brittain dealership stores.

This website has more choices; http://www.industrialseats.com/categ...?categoryID=20

You can check this one out too; http://www.truckpro.com/docs/merchan...wiseseats.html

There was an outfit in Portland that sells new seats and repairs OEM seats, that used to be east of Jubitz on Vancouver Way...but for the life of me..I can't remember their name.

At the Vegas show I checked out the Knoedler products and talked to their rep for awhile. I was very impressed. The next truck I buy is getting junk spec'd from the factory and a Knoedler put in (they won't sell to OEM's). Probably the best you can buy, but they ain't cheap. Not sure if you want to drop the coin for a driver.

My seat is worn out, too. Not to steal the thread, but I'm interested in swivels. Anybody have any experience in installing a driver's chair that swivels?

My boss who is on the cheap side needed a seat for are peterbilt. Went to the junk yard and got an almost brand new one out of a truck that was rolled. The seat was in really good shape. Like new.
