*Seat I.D. Help Needed*

Snatched 2 of these at a yard sale this AM for $10 thinking they might be some sort of "buddy buckets" that may have had the center jump seat? Lady said they were her husbands, and that he had pulled them from a Chevy truck to use in his 60s C10, but never used them. And she had NO idea what kind of truck or what year. Only she knew they came out of a Chevy.

I have very little knowledge of 73-87 Chevys and even less knowledge on 88+.

So what year and what kind of Chevy "truck" did they come in? Blazer, Suburban, etc?

How well would they fit in my 83 K10?

Where the heck do I find a jump seat to mate to them?

Easy one, 1990-1991 C/K series will go down to 1988 but 88-89 have different fabric. Physically will bolt in that era truck up to 1998 but headrests in pickups started with the 1992 models

These came in regular pickups and had a center console so it was a 2 passenger

To put in your 83 you will have to make new brackets. If you have the original bench in the truck, unbolt the sliders and use them as the base, scroll through the interior section for ideas

Cool. Thanks for the help. I need something with a jump seat in the middle for my kiddos to be able to ride. I have 3 (two girls 8 & 9 and a boy that's 2) so I have to have room for 3 of us at least. Guess I'll stick with the bench for now.

If you can fabricate well you may find in a junkyard something out of a Suburban rear seat section. The passenger rear seat is like a 20% total out of what flips forward to access the back.

Awesome idea. Thanks I will start digging.

These look like the seats in my son's 79 blazer. To know for sure though, I would need to know if the other seat folds forward at an angle ?
The passenger front seat in the blazer folds up and to the middle slightly to allow passengers in.

Nope it fold straight forward just like this one.

I found a picture of the 88-92 pickup buckets last night that looks exactly the same. Only the ones pictured have arm rests. Might be a little higher back than the ones I have also.
