83 C30 Crew Cab Front Seat Frame - Busted!

[EricU]

I have an interior kit coming to redo both the front and rear seats on “Project: Big Brown Turd” my 2wd 83 C30 Crew Cab.

My current front seat frame is busted, sheared in two. I can spend a bunch of time reinforcing and welding up the existing frame, but I would rather start with a better frame.

I have a complete set of buckets with console from a Suburban parts rig that I have but I want to keep the bench seat so that doesn’t help me.

So far I can’t find one in any of the forums, ebay or CL.

I have read that an 81-90 Suburban bench seat will bolt in but I can’t find locate one of those either.

• Will an 81-90 two door front bench seat bolt onto my Crew Cab tracks but just have a fold down option to them?

• Any good places to find a replacement front seat frame for a C30 Crew Cab?

Thanks for any help!
