so confused.. -- 77 crewcab seats into 68 sub? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I see a lot of questions asking about swapping various seat into assorted trucks, blazers, burbs,
Mine is specific and I haven't found a match to it yet but I may suck at searches.
I have both front and rear bench seats available to me from a 1977 chevy crewcab (3+3) and I'd like to use them in my '68 suburban. Anybody have good advise on this swap? Should I go get the seats or keep looking for something that will fit easier? Thanks guys- Greg

Anything other than O.E, will require fab work, all depends on your skills. You said you wanted an "easier" install, stick to factory style seating.

my 80's suburban rear seat wasn't all that bad. plus I have a fold flat option which is nice.

Thanks Cummin- were you able to swap brackets or did you fabricate all new?
