Suburban Seats
Hey Guys,
I was curious if a guy where to replace his bench seat with a set of bucket seats from a newer suburban, what would all be involved? Is there any issues with clearance between the seat and the steering wheel? Is it worth it? Thanks |

I would like to know this too! So, I guess I'll follow this thread to see what comes up.

Re: Suburban Seats
Most all late model seats will sit too high and put you closer to the steering wheel.

It depends on what year the truck is & what you guys are considering to be 'late model' too.

Re: Suburban Seats
My truck is a 1980 K20. Just a regular cab long bed. I guess I was wanting more of a plush seat from a mid 90's suburban. Just something that will bolt in with our having to do a lot of modification or fabbing seat brackets. Maybe the best bet would be from an older suburban? Then just weld in the the bucket seat brackets? I wasn't really sure on this. Thanks for all of your help.

Re: Suburban Seats
Okay guys, I went to the junkyard this weekend and picked up some buckets out of a suburban. They are actually in really great shape and it only ran me 50 bucks! I got them fit into the cab and mocked in place and I have a pretty good idea on what I'll have to do to get them bolted in. I did notice however that on rear inside bracket there looks to a template hole already marked on the cab floor? Have any of you noticed this as well? I did find a decent console that just needs some cleaning that will work too. I was curious if anyone has done anything extra to these to make them a little more fancy? I did find a GMC emblem I was thinking about putting on the console. Just looking for some ideas. Thanks again for your time!
