Bench seat question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Are the seat mounts the same between 65 and 86? Or is anyone sure how much modification would need to be done to a 65 seat to fit in an 86?

Seat mounts are definitely not the saem. The 73-87 floors ar not flat. Now, whether you can adapt factory 606-66 seat brackets to the 86 seat I do not know. I have seen it done, just don't know how. As mentioned the FAQ section may have some bits of info.

Per the FAQ, in reference to listing seats that fit in 60-66 trucks.

I assumed they wouldn't because of the differences in floors.
