Re: Easy factory bench to "factory buckets" !
Thank goodness. I've been waiting for this thread to come back to the top. I've searched for it and never could find it again.
I'm very tempted to do a three row bucket-bucket-bench in my suburban similar to how the newer ones are equipped.

Re: Easy factory bench to "factory buckets" !
Perfect timing. I just removed and stripped the three bench seats from my Suburban. I also installed Blazer front buckets and console.
Now I'm ready to make the captain chairs for the middle row.

Re: Easy factory bench to "factory buckets" !
Here's my prototype frame for the middle seat on my Suburban. It fits pretty well. I think it's time to weld it up and start the other one.

Re: Easy factory bench to "factory buckets" !
Looks like you got it ! Not as hard as it may look and you end up with "factory buckets" or in this case second row buckets .

Re: Easy factory bench to "factory buckets" !
heres something to think about for the guys not wanting to sacrifice the "honey" bench seat. how about modifying a bench to be a 60/40 split bench. think its possible? you would have to change the adjusters though im sure

Re: Easy factory bench to "factory buckets" !
Well... I've gone to the extreme on these seats using all real leather and Ostrich leather for the inserts and accents also a rawhide laced edge similar to the Audi TT seats posted in the beginning of this thread . The design is based on a horse saddle look and is very labor intensive . These seats are going in my 67 restomod and that truck will be the last truck I will ever build to this level . I'll post pictures once the completed interior is installed , the plan is to take that truck to the 2017 power tour . The newest addition is a bed cover with a 12 volt actuated rear air spoiler made from aircraft honey comb composite for strength and low weight . The power rear window works perfect .I'm seriously considering a No limit frame , The budget has been blown out the window .
