Does anyone know if the bucket seats from a 73 fit the same way on a 70 chevy pickup without making modifications.

Good question, I dont know but welcome from So.Cal.

Seats yes, brackets no. You can use the 73 buckets with 69-72 brackets, as they bolt to the seat bottom with no problem.

Or you can make a simple bracket and mount them on bench seat brackets

So will only '73 work? How much newer can you go?
