'73-'79 factory bucket seat brackets wanted...truck or suburban...not blazer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

superchevy · 01-03-2005, 09:41 AM

yeah, I know this is 67-72 parts board, but more exposure here.
Just like it says, I need driver's and passenger bucket seat mounting brackets from a '73-'79 truck or suburban, not blazer.
If you have a set or one side only, please pm me.
Thanks,
SC

Not sure what they look like compared to 69-72's. Any pics? Some of us have sets of brackets and may not know what they fit.

superchevy · 01-03-2005, 12:26 PM

No, no pics. According to my factory '77 manual, the truck/sub bucket brackets are different than the Blazer brackets...the Blazer floor is flatter, thus the brackets for same are higher than the truck brackets.
There's a pic in the manual, but I don't have a way to scan it in.

The brackets in question have a kick up on the rear outside corners so they can sit on top of the "shelf" the 73-87's have across the back of the cab. Also, only the drivers side is adjustable, the pass is fixed in place. This may help identify them a little.

I no longer have these brackets, but they were from a mid-'70s suburban with buckets (both sides were adjustable). Good luck!

bigblock73 · 01-03-2005, 03:03 PM

OK, I guess that proves the PU brackets are unique to themselves. Those brackets are not the same as PU brackets and therefore will not fit a PU either.

The pickups with buckets also have welded to the floorboard a mounting bracket for the inboard rail on both seats.

superchevy · 01-03-2005, 06:08 PM

badpeanut, those are the brackets I need. They are exactly like the ones in the manual I have, except the truck passenger bucket in the manual doesn't adjust. Would be sweet to have both sides adjust.
OK, so who has a set of mid-70's suburban bucket seat brackets?
Geez, these are being difficult to find.

I have 4 of them....the part marked in red is missing on two of them and broken on the other two. The part itself is just sheetmetal and would be easy to make. You can have them for the shipping. Email me if interested...thand1@midsouth.rr.com

Sweet!

I have a set for both seats. I would like to trade them for a set of 69-72 bucket brackets, (preferably pickup). Mike.
