Some free insite! 88-96 bench/ split seats
Just to let every one know who might want a new seat. I just did an install of a 93 60/40 split bench seat out of a 93 1500 into Low Buck my 70 SWB. I did teh swap because I needed just a bit more leg room and heard these seats give you that. So yesterday I did the seat swap and installed the shoulder belts out of the same type of truck. Today I did a pedal mod to get another 2" of room. So now I have enough room to be real comfy while I drive because latly I have not wanted to drive it because my knee would kiil me after 30+ miles.
My wife and I took the truck out today for a test drive and to pick up a Christmas tree and oh my gosh this new seat makes teh truck feel so much better! I was worried that it would be a harsh ride because I have a 4.5" drop in the front and 7 in the rear with a home made flip kit. With my old seat that is in great shape it road a bit rough on these great california roads ![]() ![]() Well I just wanted to pass this on because it was a great mod and can be done very easy by drilling 4 holes and bolting it into place with the proper washers and hardware to be safe. Or you can go the all day route that I took. Ether way you will be very happy with this simple change. Here are the links if anyone wants to see how I did mine.

Re: Some free insite! 88-96 bench/ split seats
Suprisingly how the little things make such a big difference. I was just commenting on another thread how replacing the body mounts on the Suburban made it feel like a brand new truck. I noticed a bigger difference from that than I did spending a grand on air bags. Go figure.

I did the same thing in a '72 C-10 about 8 years ago and I found like you that it worked out great.
It reminds me of something I need to do with the '71 C-10 I am now working on. Danny |
