Drivers side Slider frame for 79 Buckets
« on: September 06, 2009, 11:55:54 am »
I found a set of buckets out of a 79 Chevy truck, they have high backs would definitely improve the truck. The only problem is that the frame and slider on the drivers side seat is missing. Are there any known after market producer of the bracket? I know the Suburban and Truck brackets are the same, are those going to be my only real options for replacement?

Thanks,
J

yes used are your only options for bolt in, unless you want to fab something up.

Capt are there any good auto salvages you would recommend in Northern Alabama? I am in the Huntsville area and have only been here for about a year; a transplant from OK, Go Pokes! I haven't been able find any salvages that act like they have seen them in years. I found the site below that says the product is a direct replacement for the Truck bucket sliders.

I know the stock picture for the brackets is wrong, I requested pictures of the actual product will post pics if I recieve a reply.

Check with Pull A part and find a late model Suburban with Buckets in it.  They will fit.
I don't know of any places specifically in you area though.

Capt,

How much differences is there in the blazer seat brackets and the set for trucks? Is it worth the time to try these in my conversion?

It would be easier to list the things that are the same - they bolt to the floor.

Blazer floors are flat, all others have the hump in the floor.
