I too have come to the conclusion that that other than upholstery the seat frames are the same for trucks and Burbans.
The 71 seats I put in I got to drive on today. They are terrible compared to the 69-70 seat I took out. The sliders don't let the seat go back as far and the seat back is bolt upright. The difference is night and day for me.
I have also noticed that the seat back in the 71 seat reaches about 2 inches farther up my back than the 69-70. It must be due to the location of the holes in the seat bottom frame.
I apologize for make the thread so confusing. I couldn't find any information before I started the thread and one thing has lead to another and here we are. As I find more I'll just keep collecting it here.
I encourage anyone with more seat information to post it.
