Identifying Your Chevy Truck Seats: The Ultimate Guide

Posted by The ShearComfort Team


Every generation of design comes with its own unique characteristics. Among these are the materials used in the interior, the body style, and even the types of seats used for both driver and passengers. When purchasing seat covers for your Chevy truck, it becomes important to look at the type of seats, including the headrests, and how the seat belt is positioned with the seat.

The Importance of Headrest Identification

Headrests are also called head restraints, which are used primarily for safety in vehicles. There are different types of headrests that your truck may have, including integrated, adjustable, active, and automatically adjusting headrests.

When seeking out the best fitting seat cover, the type of seat and the headrest are important. The seat and seat cover contours are custom designed and made to order from ShearComfort for all model years and trim levels of Chevy trucks.

Identifying the Type of Chevy Truck Seats You Have

There are front seats, back seats, consoles, and armrests that have to be considered when looking at your truck seats. You will also find that your truck’s seats are more than seats – they are bucket-shaped, solid bench, split 60/40 or 40/20/40 bench seats.

Bucket Seats

Bucket seats are individual truck seats that often have a space in between them, either filled by a floor mounted console or even the gearshift. While these seats may be predominantly found for the driver and front passenger, they can be found in rear seat layouts in some trim levels. Bucket seats may also be paired with independent armrests in some cases.

Solid Bench

A solid bench is usually found with regular cab trucks. These seats are all one single seat, like a bench. Seat covers for a bench are often custom-made in one piece, like the seat itself. There is no division to a single bench seat.

Split Seats (60/40 or 40/20/40)

When you see a bench seat that has been separated by a console or another division, these are called split seats. There are two types of split seats that you might see in a truck. These are 60/40 and 40/20/40. Each is unique in its own way, which is why ShearComfort Chevy truck seat covers are a perfect fit every time.

The 60/40 split has two separate divisions – one that is 60% and one that is 40%. The 40/20/40 is divided into three sections – two that are 40% each and one that is 20%. Using a cover like NeoSupreme helps protect seats from everyday wear and comes in over 18 different color combinations.
