OBS RCSB Bench to Buckets & NBS Jumpseat

[TheAutumnWind]

I mostly post about my gmt400 on another forum and forget this one has a section for it. Obviously this isnt a hoe/yuk but same deal. Here goes:

Finally had a chance to try and mock this thing up. The brackets are not even close which is probably why I have not found much info on this particular swap.

I have pontiac bonneville buckets BTW. They are not bolted in in the pics. They should fit a bit closer together once installed. Original bench seat truck.

Please excuse the mess. Shes a daily and it was a week night.

ANy recommendations? I'll likely just bend the tabs to fit and drill some new holes. I'm sure I can make that work with some fiddling.

Undecided on the seatbelt situation. Leaning towards deleting the NBS belts and just using my existing belts from the bench.

Will the existing brackets bolt to the Bonne seats? I love Bonnevilles btw. Used to have an 89 SSE. LOVED IT!

Bonne seats bolt to the truck bases with no modification

Mine are cloth base model seats so no. I believe the leather seats have that. The main advantage to me is that is looks like it could have come in the truck since it's from the 90s and sits much lower and has great bolstering, much better then 454ss seats from what I've seen. More comfortable then my 2015 Silverado seats. You can find them in great shape still surprisingly.

I would say a slight con for bigger guys is that they are narrow in the butt. If you've got a big backside youd have cheeks on the bolsters.

Lol, cheekage room. They are great seats.

Did you have to drill new holes or did the frame get bent enough to be lined up?
