So, I have a rig that was missing its LV front seats and also the supports. I do have some original seats. I also have some Escalade heated bucket seats. Looking for suggestions. Pictures would be AWESOME!
See attached pics of how I got her(blue) and how she is now(patina)

What are you going for restoration wise? Resto mod? OE? How correct are you looking to be? I love the look of original bench. But I’m not getting any younger. I think for me it would also depend on the type of driving and length of time I’m spending in it.

In my case, I have two LVs. One has the original paint, original seats and even has the original Land Cruiser sticker on the tailgate. That one is going full original. This one has actually cleaned up better than I expected. I am building a 2f cop motor and I have fj60 axles with PS. Probably going Sniper. Soooo, stockish, but definitely Toyota.
 
This is very old video on YouTube, but it highlights a pretty nice bucket seat/center console solution on an LV. Start watching around minute 4:30 of the video. I think these are manual 80 series buckets that don't look out of place in a resto-mod truck.

This is just a suggestion, but a SCOUT ll front bench seat, rare like an LV, but not as rare, might be a good alternative. Has some similar characteristics, and has the rear ashtray that is almost identical. YEP. The seat slides are similar too. The floor mounts can be altered to work in the LV. Yep, who knew. Secrets out.
