85 pickup seat swap

I have an 85 C-10 full size with a bench seat that is shot. I can get a 90 Suburban bucket set and console for $100, is there a chance it can be modified easily to install? Thanks in advance, I'll check back.

Thanks I'll seal the deal. I just put a set of 20's on it, it looks better but needs bigger skins than the 275X45's, not enough meat in the back.

Re: 85 pickup seat swap

If you can get the seat brackets that are welded in the suburban it will make it a lot easier on you. Otherwise you'll have to fab your own bracket for the front inner on each seat.

What about the inner seat belt attachment?? If you grab them from the Burb do you mount them in the same place as the bech seatbelts were??

Re: 85 pickup seat swap

Hand chisel and small sledge, did not want to change the shape of the bracket so I removed a small chunk of the floor where the brackets were attached.
