Task Force Seat question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

hotrodrookie · 06-07-2009, 02:08 PM

Im thinking about replacing the old rotten bench with late model tahoe, escalade, etc.. middle row seats. Iv herd them mentioned on here before but couldnt find any threads. A guy is selling on craigs what he says is 07 tahoe second row 70/30 black vinyl seat. It looks to be a reall good deal but how do they fit?

dwcsr · 06-07-2009, 04:07 PM

It should fit nicely. I have one in my 72. The 72 is a bit wider than the 55-9 seat but the tahoe is abit shorter than a 72. Your going have to Fab some brackets but its well worth the effort.

hotrodrookie · 06-07-2009, 04:09 PM

What did you do for the driver and right side passenger seat belts?

dwcsr · 06-07-2009, 10:06 PM

The buckle part of the belt is attached to the seat. If you can, get the part that bolts to the floor. I just use a lap belt now but I am going to get a 3 point some time in the near future

hotrodrookie · 06-09-2009, 04:10 PM

I ended up buying those seats. Came out of a 07 tahoe police vehicle. Theyre black vinyl and look basically new. The guy must not have wanted them, $25. pics soon

MrTucker · 06-10-2009, 10:17 AM

killer deal! even if you dont use them, you can resell them and make some money

Sorry guys, I guess I shouldnt have mentioned anything until I had access to my camera. Should get it sometime this weekend.

No Pressure... No Problem... LOL
You'll just have to put up with us until the camera shows up

So where are the pics? I was told there would be pics. Are the pics here now? I'd really like to see pics. How come there is no pics? Wasn't there supposed to be pics? People really shouldn't say there's going to be pics if there's really not going to be, this is very disturbing.

My moma always told me patience is a virtue, so you guys should take it easy on him.

However with that said; Where are the pictures?

hotrodrookie · 06-12-2009, 06:51 PM

Drumrole.... Finally able to put em up. Im real happy with how they look and Im definetly going to need some new bracketry to sit em in there. Also just picked up the new heartbeat. 2001 5.3 with the harness, comp, flexplate, ac condencer and xtra ls1 cam

GRIMSS · 06-12-2009, 07:04 PM

Seats look great. Nice score.

1. Will you need to mount a shoulder strap anchor or is it in the seat?

2. How much modifying (to the seats) did you have to do to get them to fit?

3. will you need to build a mount in the cab of the AD truck?

1)The two end seats will need seperate shoulder straps fabricated. Luckily the center one is built in.
2)Im not sure because I havent started working on it yet but Ill probably have to rid of the metal bracketry the seats bolt to and fab shorter brackets so the seats sit lower and tucked back in the cab more.
3) Umm not sure, but Im thinking about just making the seat brackets bolt into the original Task force cab mounts.

And oh yeah, what is a 70/30 seat?

John

70/30 is the ratio of the seat. The little seat on the passenger side takes up 30% the driver side takes up 70%

OrrieG · 06-13-2009, 12:22 AM

FWIW I used third row Yukon seats with the shoulder belts built into the seat. I had to fab my seat frame so it was 5" off the cab floor. Look at my build thread for details. My brackets use the stock mounting points. I made them so I could adjust the seat tilt.

4DSEVEN · 06-13-2009, 08:12 AM

The seats look grey in the pic's and black in the truck? Did you dye them? And if so, how to??

They look great btw!

Thats just the difference in lighting from outside to in the shop. I didn't die them, they are black.
