Picture request: Bench seats out of a newer chevy truck in your 73-87
That says it all...
trying to see if i want these in my 76....

Looks nice. Will they fit? You will probly have to custom up some brackets for em or something.

I believe those are out of an early 2000 model. I never liked them. Every time I got in the truck I wanted to fold down the center console to find out is was not a console...but a funny looking bench with buckets on the ends. Some one can correct me if I am wrong but I don't think there are very many year model trucks that the seats will bolt up without any modifications. Just my opinion though...if you like them...get them.

All are going to require some type of modification as the 73-87's floor was designed around the gas tanks and are not flat. All other series trucks are basically flat in comparison.

Another thing I have learned is that if you are a big guy, you dont want those seats. They are thicker and it will put you alot closer to the steering wheel. I can get away with them in my Extended cabs, and they would work in a crewcab, sub, or blazer because you have some room to spare. I want a set front and rear out of a newer crewcab to put in my extended crew.

on my C30 project I took the bucket seats out of my 87 k5 blazer which has a flat floor i had to do some serious modification to make it fit and i still have to put a bar behind it so the back of the seat doesnt rub the back of the cab and it pushed me a good 2 inches closer to the wheel and about an inch closer to the roof maybe 2 inches. now 2 inches doesnt seem like a lot but in the cab it really is.
