Did some measuring of my newly acquired 71 seat and compared it with my current 69-70 seat. I noticed that the lower seat mounts relates to a taller seat back. Now I assume that the 67-68 seat would have an even shorter seat back to maintain the same 30" overall height for the rear window. If anyone has a 67-68 seat and could measure it to confirm this it would be nice. I did not have the 2 seats side by side. My 69-70 seat is still mounted in the truck. It is also possible that this is just manufacturing differences between 2 random seats. I kind of doubt that due to the difference being 1 1/2".

Once again, I am assuming that GM in response to customer feedback they lowered the seat heights and as a result the backs were raised to maintain the look of the interior.
I plan on putting the 71 seat in the Burban and see how it feels.
