These brackets I was told came out of a burb, but the will work in a truck as well. With these you can adjust both seats. I want $70 + ride.

don't mean to show my ignorance but I will. I have a set of K-5 buckets and want to put them in my 87 cab, will these do that will out any rigging or fabrication?

I see 2 cut out parts and figure those are for the inside brackets, should there be 4 of those?

Thanks,

The floor area behind the seat are similar for K5's and suburbans but the pickups are different as they curve up at the rears of the brackets. I used Suburban bucket seats in my 86 shortbox truck but to make them work, I had to ditch the suburban seat tracks and instead I used 2 sets of pickup bench seat tracks. The mods required for a stock look weren't difficult-I shortened both seat forward/backward adjusters by 3" and redrilled holes in the seat framing to accept the pickup track hole alignments. It wasn't a big deal since I wanted to keep it appearing factory. And it gave me an opportunity to clean up/grease all the seat track slides, tweak the seat adjustment cable, etc. You could caveman it by putting the suburban seattracks in a HD vise and basically bend the rears of the brackets from facing down slightly to up slightly-this way it should fit the pickup floor alignment-Ive seen it done that way too....just he careful where you bend up with it or your rear mounting holes will be off.

And for the rear inner mounts I drilled holes through the floor and then welded 10mmx1.50 nuts from underneath to keep it looking factory-then I wirebrushed the welds-primed/painted and then undercoated the area all from underneath.

Hi Steve,

No you only need 2 inside brackets, if you look at the floor of you 87 (i assume this is a truck and not a K5) you will see why.

What I did for the ones I used, I used my original back seat bracket as a template and heated them my map gas and bent them , took about 5 mins.
I bent them right at the same spot where they are already bent.

Ok Funny story go to youtube and search for install bucket seats in a 73-87 truck. This guy spends hours replacing the part the fastens to the floor, when all he had to do was to bend it.

Keep in mind though that seat brackets are formed pieces and heating them changes the tensile strength of the material. It will work but be careful with the amount of heat ifbusing that method.

thanks guys, then I all ready have the parts I need. Cool.

Again thanks,
Steve
