racing seats? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Davidmichael · 04-07-2011, 05:43 PM

I have been searching but really have come up with nothing. I am looking for some racing seats to put in my suburban. Now I know the rear seats are going to have to get some custom mounting done, but my question is the front seats. What have you guys done? I would like to keep cost down, but finding something that will bolt in.

The plan is to put 2 seats up front, with 2 in the rear, and a child car seat/racing seat in the middle of the 2 rear seats.

Anyone know of anything?

I used the Blazer mounts with some of modification, cutting and welding. I'll go out and snap a couple of pics in the morning.

Any bucket seat is nice, and you can even get some accesories like heathers, cushions ans other stuff..

VegasBruce · 04-07-2011, 10:16 PM

$40 from Jegs...

So at this point I am taking it there is no really "bolt in" hardware for any seat on the market. You have to modify everything I have seen so far. If I need to mod something, I might as well just plant them on round stock bent up to what I need.

For my Blazer, I just modded the stock hardware to fit the new seats. The Burb buckets could be done similarly.

Davidmichael · 04-08-2011, 07:00 PM

Anyone have a pictures of there installs with a sliding hardware option?

VegasBruce · 04-08-2011, 07:29 PM

The driver side has the stock slider, Blazers have a tilt in the passenger side.

bmchevy1979 · 04-08-2011, 09:01 PM

I believe Classic Industries has a bracket for the Procar seats they carry

rayfinseats · 04-09-2011, 03:49 AM

Jegs has the sliders too. My drivers seat is on a slider.
