Check out our seat mount modification

We are using the 95-98 Tahoe seats into the 72 short stepside. The challange was to fabricate and adapt some brackets to work with the 95-98 bucket seats and the 72 bench seat mounting holes. Also we didn't want the height that 95-98 seats have. So here are a few pics..... WES

Re: Check out our seat mount modification

Thanks guys. My son has a small fab shop, and we are talking about making them for resale. The trick is to make them universal to fit more than one kind of seat. WES

Re: Check out our seat mount modification

Are those seats pretty comfortable? 'Cause I have to say, I have buddy buckets, and they are not nearly as comfortable as the more modern seats. I have thought about shaving the foam to make the contour a little better for your back, but those brackets with a new seat might just be the answer.

Re: Check out our seat mount modification

The seats are confortable. They have air lumbar witch makes them more so. I like them also because if you remove the head rests the seat back is below the rear window. WES
