Seat Interchange

Do all square body benches have the same mounting brackets?

I am due to drop off the seat from my 86 for reupholstery and found a local guy that will let me borrow a seat from his 76 project truck to use so I can keep driving my truck.

I'm hoping to just unbolt my seat and have this one drop right in.

All 73-87 seats will bolt right into the cab.
There are 3 different tracks
73-76
77-80
81-87
But that only means the the tracks have to match the corresponding seat frame. The tracks can not be swapped to other frames.
But again. All the 73-87 seats will bolt directly to the cab floors. So your fine. Take your seat out for the upholstery guy, and drop the other seat in for the time being.

Just hope your upholstery guy takes care of your frame also. I restore seats myself. But when I do seats, the entire frame, tracks and all the hardware is restored also. The spring & grid gets tightened. I repair anything that is wrong with the frame. I find alot of cracks in the frames.
I have a thread going for restoring the seats, its on my Signature there at the bottom. I could have done one for you and shipped it to you.
