Re: Using a burb back seat for a front seat?

I was thinking they had a full second seat.

Well.... because my thought is that if they were a full bench the same size a front bench maybe they could be interchanged. Most suburban usually still have pretty nice fabric still and a nice front bench is hard to come by unless recovering it. So if that thought were to be correct then why not?

The answer is no. The rear seats on the burbs are completely different than rear seats in crews and front seats in burbs and crews. They share no parts in common. You can, however, use a suburban/crew cab front seat in a standard cab by swapping out the brackets.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. Too bad the rear seats won't interchange. You can usually find a pretty nice rear seat.

For my short bed I did get a set of buckets out of a suburban for it.
