Hey all,
The driver's front seat in my '86 3/4 ton Suburban is pretty ripped up, which to me is the perfect reason to start a seat upgrade. I've been looking around on Craigslist, and I'm seeing a lot of the '92-'99 Suburban seats for sale for pretty cheap.
I've been googling and searching this forum for three hours, and still haven't found any information about whether it's possible to upgrade a '73-91 Suburban to '92-99 seats. Intuition tells me that it probably isn't that hard, but I don't have a spare '92-99 around to look at. Does anyone have any experience with this swap, or a newer Suburban that they could compare to and see if it's even possible?
I have buckets and console in front of mine now. I'm interested in swapping in front buckets, middle 60/40, and 3rd row seat out of the newer generation.
From this:
To this:
The main thing I'd be concerned about is getting the 2nd row seats to fold down correctly, and getting the 3rd row to latch down. I've never seen how the 2nd row folds on the newer suburban. I have seen that the 3rd row uses the same style latch, but I'm not certain if it's the same width and length as the older style. I'd really appreciate some help or information
Thanks!
