Title: Swap bench for buckets??
Post by: akmedic70 on October 15, 2006, 08:25:00 am

'77 K10 4X4 auto....  
I want to swap out the factory bench for a set of buckets w/console.  Is this a big problem?  Any suggestions?  
Thanks -- Marv

The factory buckets and console you mean? I recently did a swap of my bench for a pair of power leather buckets from a late-90's S-Jimmy.

Sounds great!  Was there a lot of mods to get the rails mounted??

If you are looking for a bolt in, find some buckets out of a Suburban.  The require little to get them in a pickup, and they have the inside mounts that you need to bolt them up.

It's "start looking" time for sub seats.  Thanks
