68 suburban seat swap
 
The bench in my c10 suburban is pretty well fubar. I have a nice tan cloth seat out of the second row of a 1976 4 door c30 (6+6? I think they called it).
Any thoughts on how this seat can be mounted? I don’t have any brackets for the seat I want to put in, they kind of bolt directly to the floor of the crew cab trucks I think.
Thanks for your ideas.

For starters, I would pull out your old seat and set this in place. That will tell you a lot. From there I would sketch out what kind of mount would make sense. I dont think all of your bolt holes will line up. However It may be as simple as welding on a piece of say 2 1/2" flat bar to any existing mounts on the seat and drilling holes in it which will correspond to your existing holes in the Burb.

Thanks Brian - sounds about right. I’ll probably have to place it where it suits me and not worry about it being adjustable. Like your Burban- I bought mine about the same time (2009 or 10) from Portland.
