swap surburban seats into c10

How hard is it to swap in suburban buckets into an 83 c10 with a bench? Is it a bolt on thing or do I gotta modify the seats.

The two trucks have different floors, so the brackets would not bolt in. I have not tried it, but those who have say that some modifications are required.

i have tried this swap. the two outer brackets on each bucket seat will mount up to the old bench seat holes with minimal tweaking, but youre going to need to fab up something for the other two.

personally i would not do this swap because with the burban seat pushed all the way in the forward position, the back of the seat still hits the back of the cab when the back of the seat is about 90 degrees.

the seats i tried this with were out of a 88 burb
