new seats..
« on: October 02, 2010, 02:15:40 am »
What types and from what vehicle should I get a new seat from for my Chevy 79 4x4?  Has anyone seen the back bench seat of a 91 suburben mounted in a truck like mine before?

I would also like to know. Ive seen 2002 Silverado seats but it requires a lot of floor pan modification. I've also seen 1998 dodge ram seats, but don't know how much they modified the floor.

yeah, the seats came out of like a 02 silverado, but none the less a NBS p/u. The console I am using is from a NNBS like an 08 sytle.

got mine out of a '90 WT. good way to color match if you need to. they can be found in blue, red, gray, tan, and black that I know of and are really easy to install.

so the 88-98 style trucks work fine? do they just bolt to 73-87 tracks? I know the w/t is the work truck model and since it's 90 the body style is like my 88 and goes thru to 98.

The back did just bolt on and the front needed 2 holes drilled on the bottom of the seat.

I explained w/t in my post it's work truck or base model and trim level in 88-98 trucks.

drilling holes is pretty easy as far as a swap goes, good to keep in mind. Never know when you might need another seat or find a good deal on one.

WT was Work Truck (base model)

1991 Suburban used the same bench seat as a the 1982-1991 Rear Crew Cab Bench, non tilting.  So it will bolt right in.

New Body Style ...

Hate to dig up an old thread but I'm looking at snatching the seats out of a '00 for the '86 I'm doing for my father and was wondering if any extra drilling was required to bolt in being as it is a 2/3 peice seat compared to the basic bench seat, I just know those seats are 10x more comfortable on the ride being as my 07 classic has basically the same seats.
