Who has 2000+ Tahoe or Burb third row seats?

[Rokcrln]

I have a set of the small flip down slid out 2003 Tahoe third row seats also called suitcase seats. Does anyone have a few pics of the mounting of these? I have never seen the factory mounting before and am starting to plan out my seats in my 72 4door Tahoe so I need to figure out the mounting. I might go ahead and get the entire rear floor out of a newer Tahoe or Burb and just section that into mine since I have a bit hole left in mine since I shortened it down. I also have the second row 60/40 flip and tumble seats and full power front buckets also out of a 2000+ Tahoe that will be going in one I finish up more of the metal work.

So any info on the third row seats would be great!

go on evilbay and search "3rd row brackets" There's usually a couple of sets there. They consistantly go for $125 - $145. I'm in the market myself but I'm waiting to make down to Seattle and go to a pull apart. I'm told they are a bi#*h to take out.
since these brackets need to be recessed not flat, I'm thinking your right. it might be easier to cut out a section of the donor's floor and graft it to my Burb's floor.

anyone with experience or ideas?

I just purchased a 3rd row seat and I was wondering the same thing. More importantly, how do you make it work with the wood floor?

I know someone here has done this and they removed the floor from the donor vech. and welding the floor in their suburban. I think it was about a year ago.
OK I was wrong it was in the blazer forum. Here is a link. Same principal.

I've seen it on a blazer, but I never seen it done to a suburban. I was thinking of welding new brackets to the seat. I'm looking for a less evasive solution. Just an idea.

You know for some reason I thought the blazer guy used the third row bench. But after going back through that post I was wrong, thanks. I will start calling around for a floor section as I am in no hurry since I need to do the rear 3 link wish bone set up and step notch first anyways.

Thanks again guy's

Hey Kevin,

The wife's got a 01 tahoe...sounds like you're gonna find a floor to make your seats work, but if you need any pics or anything in the meantime...let me know. They're only a camera click away!

I put some in my 72 burb. Well a body shop did the work for me they just made new brackets for it. I'l try and put some pictures later this week.

Yes I bought a floor out of a 2002 Tahoe that I should get later this week but it will sit until I get my rear suspension figured out and that means more customer work so I can afford the parts What you could get me is the dimension of the floor step that the second row is sit on from the main floor. Turns out the second row seat I have is out of a 2003 Burb and I think the Tahoe second row seat would work out better depending how tall that floor step is. If it works out right I can slid that seat back a bit more for some more leg room in the second row.

Thanks,
