Swap bench for buckets??
« 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.

85 Chevy Silverado C10 short, wide, yellow, 2wd. Lowered, 60-over 350 with Dart Iron Eagle heads and Comp Cams XE268 cam, TH350 w/ shift kit, 3.40 Gov-lok 12 bolt.

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
