87 Suburban seats, 87 truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi everyone, Got a question.
Will 87 suburban front seat (buckets) fit into a 87 truck?
I plan on cutting out the brackets from the floor. I can get the seats,consol, dash cluster plus small thing for 75.00. I think its a good deal.
Seat will have to be redone.

Thanks John

Will fit like a glove at a very nice price!

Thanks Randyp, I going to get as much as I can from the sub. Suburban is really beat up not much to pick from, so I'll get what I can.

Thanks Again for the info, John

Mods, could you move this to GD. Looks like I am not getting a responce here. Maybe I asked in the wrong section.

Go To try and post pics one more time. Here goes.

Got the seats, they need some loving care, but for the price I could not pass them up. The brackets are different then bench bracket in the rear. I was thinking about cutting a small notch and bending them up then welding the cut to make it stronger. Is there any way to swap the bench brackets (the part that has the locking notches over to the bucket brackets?? I also got the center brackets. See pics below.

YEA,IT WORKED THIS TIME.......................................

would the bench brackets fit if you drilled holes in the bucket frame
thats what i did to put 89 burb seats on 78 jimmy bases

PS try makeing your pics smaller,and you won't get that post error

Thanks motornut, Could you give me more details on your suggestion.
Are you saying mount the bench rail onto the buckets?

As you can see the bench lays flat and the bucket has an arch.

Thanks, john

lined them up drilled it
bars are 16 inches apart
i noticed the seats can be reversed
pass for driver,and driver for pass
changes the wear pattern

changeing the base may make the difference up with the seat height

Thanks, I'll give it a go.
