seat options - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just bought a 82 c10 shortbed over the weekend and it needs some work. Mostly it is just interior work and the seat is beyond gone. I was trying to seat what seats out of other vehicles would swap in without welding just bolt in.

I have a friend with a bench out of a 91 Silverado would that work?

thats what i was trying to avoid. just bolt in.

the 91 seat will work with a little tweaking, mounted on the 82 brackets

chappys4life · 03-16-2009, 01:03 PM

What kind of tweaking? My welder broke and I was looking for something simple since its my driver until I get my 53 f100 fixed

Bolt in is the same style truck bench seat.

I have that style of seat in my 84. Previous owner did it, but it's in there. Haven't looked to see what all they did to make it work, but I'm sure not much.

The seat tracks on 73-78 (-91rv) are closer together than the 88-up seats (and much, much shorter too).
