Will '73 bucket seats and console fit my '71 C10?
I found a set of 73 buckets with a console in pretty good shape. Will those fit my 71 c10 without making modifications?
Thanks!

The bases are wrong but otherwise yes.

Even with the correct brackets the 73-up seats angle too far back and hit the cab. You will not be able to adjust the seat back far enough.

Are you sure? I thought the low backs were the same through '75.

They both seem to slant back quite a bit.

Foams are the same, frames are slightly different. Give it a try, I have and that's what happened.
