Bucket Seat Mounts
Hi everyone, wondering if these are correct for the low back 73-77 bucket seats, they look a little different from others I have seen... the ones I am familiar with don't seem to have the little arms that come down on each side.
I have heard of people passing off later suburban bucket mounts as the correct ones for my application, if these are them - but they work - I am fine with that, as I am not picky but if anyone who is in the know could clarify I would appreciate it.

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
that looks like what I remember I have in my 88 suburban, no idea if it'll work with your buckets.

So it would appear that what I have a picture of was a Suburban mount (as v30crewcab points out). I suppose it could probably be made to work for my 73-77 buckets, but if anyone has experience with that please let me know.

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
I have a 69 and I have late 80 early 90s suburban buckets, will these brackets work?

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
Should work great I think, as long as you can do a little welding. Pics would be great, as I am sure others are thinking of doing something like that.

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
I'm eventually swapping some lowback buckets into my truck. I made some brackets to bolt the bench seat tracks to the buckets. I have these mounts from a 89 Suburban that should work fine. They look similar to what your picture is.

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
Welding is not a problem, certainly have those skills honed for the past 30+ years. I'll have to pull out the existing seats and do a test fit

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
They won't work for you. a 1969 has a flat floor and squarebodies have a raised floor. A really nice option for the 67-72 trucks is 88 and newer non squarebody bucket seats

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
Those are the correct brackets. Do you have pictures of the brackets you made to bolt the bench seat tracks to the buckets?

Re: Bucket Seat Mounts
the 88 up seats need no mount fabricated if you find a set and the lowbacks look very similar to OEM buckets. If you can't find 2 buckets, you can use the 2 small sides of 60/40 splits as they are actually buckets
