69-72 Blazer rear seats fit. Also some late Tahoe 2nd row seats can be adapted nicely.

Check out a 2004 or so Nissan Quest, or Mercury. They're both the same, I believe. I used the front and middle seats out of an '04 Quest, and fabricated 1 inch tube frames for them. There should be a link in my signature for pictures.

One thing the pictures don't show is that there's a drop-down dual cupholder on the passenger side of the driver's seat. Like having a console, but still room for access to the back seat. Love these seats!

You can gut a newer Burb like Dino did for his (89+), that would be easy and could be cheap, too.

Re: need help what seats are a good fit in a 63 suburban
I have been getting seats from a guy that does handicap van conversions. This gets you brand new seats, maybe a color selection, and they are cheap. $100 to $150 for two, and a console if you want. Worth looking into. You can make them quick release if you want, or remove that part and make them standard sliders. I have used sets from a Honda Pilot van. I have newer seats for my 65 truck that are even thinner than the Pilot seats, but not as plush. I don't know what they came out of.
Check your yellow pages for van conversions. . |
