Seat Differences

I'm looking to buy a seat, but the add says its for a 73-80 chevy truck, mine is a 81. What is the difference between a 73-80 bench seat, and a 81-87 bench seat?

Re: Seat Differences

The seat track mounting is different. I went to put an 80 seat in my 87 and the 87 seat tracks would not directly bolt to the 80 seat. The 73-80 seat will bolt to your 81 floor if the seat comes with the tracks. The adjuster lever will be on the side instead of the front.
