Is the 2nd or 3rd row bench seat on a suburban the same as the front seat on a C/K truck?
-
cant wait to hear more...was wondering the same thing
-
i used the back seat out of my dads old 79 c3500 in my 80 c10 and it worked, but where u mount the seat, the mounts are higher so it wound up sitting about 3 inchs higher than the stock seat. but it still works.
-
No, second and third row are different.
-
But could still be used as a front seat, or is it really so different that theres no way it will work?
-
The far back seat isn't as wide. The middle seat is a 80/20 and hinged, the back and seat bottom are not even attached.
-
my 3rd row in my 91 sub 2500V is completely different than a cab bench. There aren't mounted to sliding brackets...they just hook in place and a lever in the back makes it so you can remove the rear seat. Wouldn't work at all for a cab bench. And, as stated, they are not as wide and the floor is higher, so, by putting a 3rd row seat up front, it will sit way low.
-
Would the 3rd row be similar to a blazer seat?
-
The second row on a Suburban is specific to that bodystyle. The front seat of a suburban is the same as the front of a crew cab, and the same as a non tilting style of a pickup. The third row is the same as a Blazer.
-
My Suburban never had the third row seat, is it a problem to add it, if I just find it from another Suburban or Blazer? Especially thinking about the belts.
-
Adding a factory 3rd row may be a bit of work. The floor structure that the seat latches into is spot welded into the floor. I suppose you could modify it to clamp in but safety and ease of removal would be two points to consider.
-
You have to cut out and weld in the floor support/catches to put the third row in.
