Can anyone please help me with some direction --i am putting in a pair of blue leather bucket seats with single arm rests[[i waited my whole life for]] into a 86 chevy suburban-that had a bench seat...

The seats came out of a 98 chevy tahoe and the brackets will not even come close--can anyone send me to a place that has brackets for something like this...

heres the catch--i put in a pair of corbeau bucket seats at the start of my rebuild--but they are hard and uncomfortable in a big way--although they look cool--big deal--but now ihave the corbeau brackets in and they will not hook up either as the seats are electric....

so back to how to find a place that makes these seat brackets conversions---to put 98 tahoe bucket seats into a 86 chevy suburban that had bench seats

thanks for the help in advance

You could locate brackets for factory buckets in your vintage and fit them to the newer seats.You Suburban looks good in the avatar.Post some pics in the "Here`s mine,let`s see yours" thread.

It`s right here in this message board,maybe one or two threads after this one.I started it hoping it would be made into a "sticky",since there was none for Suburban pictures.That way,like your pics,they wouldn`t just fade off into neverland.Then,a few months later a moderator started his own for some reason,even though the one I started was still going strong and staying near the top.Go figure.
