73-87 bucket seats in our 67-72's - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Does anyone have pictures of 73-87 bucket seats in a 67-72? Have an opportunity for a good deal on a set, wondering if the high back looks ok in our trucks

They angle back further than 69/72 buckets, even with the correct hardware. No problem for a Blazer, but in a truck they hit the cab unless you move them forward (and lose leg room)

sounds like fabrication of rear shims will allow you to use those seats/imagination and fabrication skills can overcome those piddly small problems

PO told me he got the seats in my truck out of an '87 along with engine and trans. Wish I had a better angle for you. Anyway, they seem to fit well, I like the look and they are pretty comfortable. -Ed
