Leather Suburban second row seats - can I make them work? anyone tried it yet? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone ever tried these seats on a 67-72? I'm not to worried about lack of adjustments, at 6'3" I will be installing them all the way back anyway. I might have to shorten the brackets somehow but I can still use my stock seatbelts since these don't have installed one's. If anyone has tried then send pics...thanks..Hey, I only paid $20 and I can pick them up...

that is a steal for $20
you'll need to fab up some mounting brackets but that shouldn't be too hard.
good luck

That's a great deal, with your height shorten the steering colum and you should have enough room

Man, I thought my 60/40 bench for $50 was a steal. Nice find for sure!

I would think some fabbed brackets wouldn't be too hard. Those are nice.

If I do it right these have the bottom that flip up and maybe could hide storage. I might be able to attach hardware from a basic bucket seat and restore the fore/aft movement.

I just passed on a console and leather buckets from an Avalanche that sold for $180. The deals are out there if you find them close and people don't wanna ship.

There are some pictures of an install that Putter did with our trucks using 2nd row Tahoe seats or similar, if he can do it, you can too

Anything is possible with a little finagling
