It is the same seat as a regular cab, just non-tilting.

I've seen a few pictures, but never one in person, its kinda a dream seat for me, as i have wanted to put buckets in, or that style of seat, yet finding one with good upholstery up here is a tough find.

Just use the bench seat tracks off your truck.  The floor of a Suburban curves down in back while the regular cab curves up.

i don't have any pics yet but i took the stock bench seat out of a 87 suburban and it bolted right into my 83 crewcab! PO had put in some nasty bucket seats out of an old conversion van :o!

Crewcab and Suburban floors use the same seat tracks.  Regular cabs are slightly different in the rear.

The seat tracks can be bent to fit the regular cab no problem, just bringing it up as it is "not" a direct bolt in, but with a big hammer and or heat/vise it can be done.

front seats in Burb/crew are the same and would have to have the rear bracket bent up to fit a regular cab.
The REAR seat of a Crew Cab is the same as a regular cab.
