Title: were power bench seats an option
Post by: p7387 on September 22, 2011, 11:52:04 am

Were power bench seats ever an option on pickups? I found a used qualitex seat which is a direct fit bolt on for the standard bench and was wondering if could retro/converted to power if I found a donor track

On 73-87 pickups, never.  On newer pickups, 99% sure that is a no.

Had an 83 Coupe DeVille that was a bench seat full power. Red leather too.

Never seen a power bench in a truck, even up to current. That doesn't mean it can't be done... and if you pull it off, take lots of pictures!

concerning the power bench, i am guessing that also applies to suburbans and blazers, correct?
weren't power buckets an option?

No power.  I had a 95 with power lumbar but was a manual seat

     Defiantly take pics and what/where you got your parts to make it work, a lot of people would be curios.
