Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

The picture of the huge gas tank under the seat and the seat above it with the ashtrays on the arm rests makes me laugh. Probably was never a problem, just seems funny the engineers thought, where can we put more gas?

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

Do some 3/4 2nd row seats only have two rear brackets while some have four?

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

mrtoni...my 2nd and 3rd row seats only came with two brackets...and I bought it from the original owner. Now, it is a possibility that the original owner removed the middle two brackets at some point, maybe when taking the seats out for hauling more gear...but it really doesn't seem like that actually makes it less work as it's still four bolts to remove from the floor? My gut tells me the answer to your question is "yes"???

Has anybody bought an original style 72 Cheyenne scroll interior for a Suburban lately?

My son in law wants and interior for Christmas.

I think the two rear brackets va four relates to if seat was equipped with middle seatbelt on spid

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

I'm not sure about that, mrtoni...my SPID only shows the center and rear seat option but came with all nine original seatbelts. As I said before...it's unlikely but very possible at the same time that the original owner removed those two extra brackets for some reason...but I have no way of knowing one way or the other. Maybe someone with a better understanding of these variations could clear this up for us?

Cars Inc. said they had them in September.

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

Blazers/Jimmies received a rear seat that had two rear mounting brackets in the 72 model year whereas earlier examples made use of four brackets. For the 72 examples with the two bracket style, the center belt attachments are directly to the floor pan with angled "gooseneck" rubber boots to cover the hardware.

I speculate the Suburban seats received a similar design change for 72 wherein the center two brackets were eliminated but I've not researched that.

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

So saw a couple guys ask, but not a for sure answer. Does a front seat cover work on the full length middle bench? Bought a 71 and the seats need a major rework.

Ok bringing this back to the top for a quick question. I’m having some difficulty sourcing a wide second row seat for the 70 suburban I’m working on. I have a couple of front seats available and the second row seat brackets. Is it possible, or rather, how difficult is it to modify a front seat to use as the second row utilizing the correct 2nd row brackets? Is it just a matter of welding on some flat plate with captured nuts to the seat frame where the brackets and armrests bolt onto the frame?

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

Hey guys
My second row seat is not matching up to the holes that are in the support cross member. At one point the seat bolted up to an axillary gas tanks. Centered in the cab. Now I want to bolt the seat to the left side (offset so kids can get in the 3rd row) There are two sets of hole in the cross member. Straight stamp holes and holes with a weld nut. Welded nut holes put the seat center of the cab. How do I get my seat off set.

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

I have a second row gas tqnk if you want to put it back in

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

UhIt's hard to tell which 2nd row seat you have from the photos. They came in two sizes.

Was your Burban a three row truck from the factory? It should be indicated on the SPID. The welded nuts on the crossmember reflect what seat layout the truck was ordered with. As far as I know GM didn't install crossmembers with weld nuts for both seat configurations.

Does your 3rd row seat have the factory style crossmember?

I believe the under seat aux tank was a dealer installed item only. So there would be variations in how they were installed. That being said I don't believe anyone has ever documented how those tanks were installed.

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

So both my rear seats are 50” seats. I looked SPID and it just says rear seat option. But if the weld nuts are factory placement then it goes in the middle. The rear plywood is not drilled for the 3rd seat. The rear seat I have also had 70-72 upholstery. Maybe they were swap out at the dealer when the gas tank went in???

Re: 67-72 Suburban OE seats
 

It looks like your SPID shows the 2 row seat code A53 and not the A80 3 row code.

It's likely that as you said the seat was swapped.

Does the underside side of the seat look factory compared with other short seats posted in this thread? It may be that they also modified the mounts to fit over the tank.

It may be worth posting a new thread asking if anyone has an under seat tank installed in a factory three row truck and how much room is allowed for access to the 3rd row. Maybe folks could provide measurements to compare.

I looked at this truck last year and I remember it was a factory 3 row with the under seat tank. The picture sort of shows how much access is available.
