Would love burban buckets but thats like finding gold around here hard enough to find a CC let alone a burban.

Re: Seats Q?

I couldn't get any decent pictures of the seat mounts I made. I welded up a rectangular frame from 1x1 with tabs. This tied both sides of th e60/40 bench together. I then figured out just where I wanted the forward/rear movement of the seat to be for adjustability, and added tabs to mate to the original '85 seat slides. Weld it all together, paint it, bolt on the seat, and done.

I have a 96 Silverado bench in mine and would go back with the same thing if I built another truck. I forgot how uncomfortable the original seats are until lately I have been working on a truck with a stock seat.
