Will a 1972 Bench Seat fit in a 1979?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1979 C10 with buckets and wanting a bench. I found a bench out of a 1972, but didn't know if it would fit? I know the 72's had the fuel tank behind the seat. If the width part works, how about the mounting hardware/brackets? Thanks

I would get a 73-up bench seat. They are plentiful and will bolt right in, the 72 will not.

Local junkyard or Craigslist would probably turn one up.
