1952 GMC Carryall/Suburban Question???
I am starting my 52 project and have started putting together info, parts lists and buying parts. I am wondering what late model seats I can use in front to allow access to rear seats. Has anyone found a truck or other bucket seats that will flip forward or move forward enough to allow someone past on the passenger side to get into back seats. I want something comfortable for road trips, not the original low back no support seats.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or pictures you may have. Dan

Decodan, hopefully you will put up a build thread on your Suburban.
Second row mini van seats would work for the right front seat. They should tilt enough to allow access. I was looking at a second row Buick Rendesvous seat and they look to chunky for my build direction. |

Here are 07 tahoe third row seats that flip and tilt I used on my truck. Bonus is built in 3 point belts.

Re: 1952 GMC Carryall/Suburban Question???
Advanced Design and OrrieG thanks for the info. I was thinking second row Suburban or Tahoe but having other options is great. I will start a build thread soon. I am modifying the grill and changing to 4wd. Not doing the S10 swap but something different using the original frame. Planning to have a lower 4wd, not a mudder but a driver. Should start in a couple of months. Preview picture.

I've got a better idea: swap me that for my truck. The '46 not the COE. That thing looks great.
