There is nothing nicer in a truck than a good quality seat, with arm rests. I love mine, cannot remember the name but its a German Mfg.
KW dealers will have them or be able to get them.

This company sells them,but you would have to find someone else to do the installation. www.buytruckstuff.com I purchased a top of the line "back cycler" seat made by national seating from them and it's great.

BTW, the name that Broompilot was trying to think of is Isringhausen.
On the theory that more choices are always better, I got a great new seat at Superior Seating, in Valparaiso, Indiana. They don't install,(come to think of it - I never asked if they do or not!), but they do have a bargain basement section on the website with some good deals. Enjoy!
HELLO GARMAN!!!!!!
The truck seats we want are not available as an option in the new truck we will be taking delivery on in the not-too-distant future. The new truck will feature top-of-the-line National air-ride seats, grey in color, cloth, with arm rests. But we don't want them. We want other seats that we will buy from another source. I'd love to work something out with you where you could take our "old" seats off our hands so we can put in the seats we want. Get ready for the National seat deal of a lifetime. I will not be undersold! (But I'll happily consider all bids).

Possibly the best place I have found to test out seats was the waiting room in the service department at the Petro in Bordentown, NJ, they have a bunch in there to try out. I would definitely test out a model of seat before buying new, as some of the high end leather seats are upwards of $800 each with Petro prices, just find what you like and get better deal on internet or ?. National is a pretty good OEM seat, but ##### some of those expensive leather jobs make even them feel like park benches!! I've always lived with what was in the truck, but if I started all over I would get one really good drivers seat, and keep and swap the stock one back in when I sold the truck, I imagine a good leather upholstered seat could live through a couple of trucks the comfort making it worth the cost.

Just make sure that whatever seat you get fits your truck. The truck I was given is spring ride, and somebody decided to remedy that with an air seat. They put an El Camino Wide seat in that is meant for a full-size class 8 cab, and for me to fit without hitting my head, i have to let all the air out. Kinda defeats the purpose of air seating, and it's also starting to hurt my bottom. If it's medium duty, either get a medium duty seat or a low-rider seat with a low base height.
PS- 28" FTL Sleepers and 6'4" 235lb people do not work that well together either, but it's better than a van.
