WTB/WTT:Drivers-Side Bucket Seat Track
 
Got some buckets out of a 70 Panel. They are going in my 71Suburban(factory bucket option), but the d/s right slider holes don't match up to the factory holes in the floor. If I don't find one, I may drill holes in the floor. I do have some Blazer sliders/ seats for trade. Don't want to sell the Blazer stuff until I finish this project.

Can you get a measurement between the front mounting holes to the rear ones? I may have the brackets.

Lisa,
This is just a guess without seeing them but the buckets out of the panel are probably utility buckets with metal backs and your suburban floor is probably set up for sport buckets. If that is the case I am not sure the utlities will fit without floor hole mods but i could be wrong.

Thanks Richard. It looks like all I need is the d/s right slider. I will measure later and let you guys know. They do have metal backs on them.

Thanks for the pics, that helps. Your suburban is setup for sport buckets. The blazer driver side sport bucket brackets you have should fit these holes. Unfortunately the blazer sport bucket bracket won't fit your utility seats that you have taken out of the panel. Also the utility seat brackets won't line up with your suburban mounting holes. Your two options are, drill new holes in floor for the utility seat brackets or find sport bucket seats. All suburbans I've seen with sport buckets had the solid mounts for passenger side seat, like trucks. Same seat sliders as blazers, trucks on driver side. They also have the plastic back covers like blazers. One good thing is you already have the under floor cross member brace for the front mounts. You may want to relocate the rear under floor braces to match up with the new drilled holes if you decide to use the utility seats. If you decide to sell the blazer driver side bracket, let me know. I would be interested.

Thank you. I probably will sell the whole set-up of blazer sliders. I have all four. I will let you know. I'll see if anyone has a slider for sport buckets.

Sorry, I may have been unclear, can you post pics of your seats and brackets? Blazers also used utility seats along with sport seats. Confusing I know but your suburban is set up for sport seats. I'm not sure if you wanting to use the utility seats from the panel and need brackets for them or if you need sport style seats all together.

I will use these seats. I do actually need all the brackets except drivers left

Yes. Are you interested in trading for the Blazer set? I will get a picture later.

Re: WTB/WTT:Drivers-Side Bucket Seat Track
 
Lets get figured out what you need first and go from there. I'm currently putting 72 blazer sport buckets seats (plastic back cover) in my 71 suburban. I also have a set of utility seats (metal back) from a 71 suburban that I won't be using. I will PM you my phone number you would like to call.
