seat swap in 1989 burb - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey all!

New to site, but had burbs for years. Curious to see what front seats you all have in your trucks? I am looking to swap in some heated leathers, but I don't know which ones would fit the best. Any suggestions. I am also looking into captains chairs for the second row seating. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

there are tons of wadded up 96-99 tahoes and burbs laying around w/ heated captians. they usually need a panel replced on the drivers side and sometimes the heating elemnets are bad. the electrics on them are all self contained so you just need a hot wire. may need some bracket mods, but 2 sets should work for front and back. good luck

Just to jump in to this one...what seats will bolt straight in to an '85 'Burb with no mods? I'm looking for a straight swap to upgrade so it would be nice to know what makes/models I should be looking for when I hit the junkyard.

FWIW, I've seen on other boards some guys talking about seats from the Cadillac CTS.

I would think the CTS seats would not bolt right in, I would look for a newer burb seat, they did make this up to 91.

do the 92-99 second row seats bolt in on the 73-91 burb wanting to swap out all 3 row in my 90 burb

the 92-99 second row seats bolt right into the second row of the 73-91? I take it that is what you are saying? are they captains' chairs?

87 dually burb · 05-23-2009, 11:39 PM

i was hoping all 3 rows were a bolt in but I'm happy to hear the 2nd row is cause making the fold down 2nd row mod's would be a pain
whats the 3rd issues if any

scsindust · 05-24-2009, 08:51 AM

Actually I was asking if you knew if they did or not...
