Suburban Bench Seat

[Bigdav160]

I cannot answer the question of rarity except to say I believe the Blazer/Jimmy shared the same seat. Suburbans with three seats received two of them, however, the middle seat had different brackets.

The real rarity might be in the seat cover. It looks really nice and I doubt it's being reproduced.

Any idea on what the value of the bench would be??

My guess is that it is a 1969 Jimmy bench.
1. 1967-68 didn't have scroll pattern in the vinyl.
2. 1967-68 didn't have faux stitch in the back vinyl.
3. That fabric is indicative to GMC trucks.
4. There is only two rear mounting brackets.


Of course I may be wrong on some of that, but in all the years I have been researching this stuff. I have found that GM used different vendors for seat coverings, so there is a lot of variances in the width to vinyl dimensions.

They are sought after by Blazer/Suburban restorers, especially the restorations that focus on OE restoration.
My guess is that you could get a few hundred bucks for it, but that is just for the frame and brackets 'n such.
The foam appears to be perished, so a restoration would require all new foam and the cover would be used as a template.
