passerby is off the scale
Default

I picked out a seat at the junk yard from a 1989 Chevy Suburban, 3rd row seat for $50. I had it re-clothed and stuffed for $150. Looks like new and very closely matches the wheat interior.

The seat is easily removed as it has 2 little horizontal C shaped brackets in the front that slide under the exhaust U bolts I installed and two clamps in the back that clamp around two additional exhaust clamps I installed.

When you pull the handle up on the back of the seat, the 2 back clamps open. Pull up and then about 2 inches back to get out of the C clamps in the front of the seat and you are done.

(Tried to draw a clear visual for you)

The seat lowers down as well by the pulling of another handle for more storage.

There is about 4 inches of space under the seat for jumper cables and a flat tool kit.

Behind the seat (between the middle seats and this rear facing seat) there is a triangle space that I store a jump starter, first aide kit, rope, mag lite, tarp, blanket.....hmmmm, I think that is it...oh, and a compressor. It is a nice hiding place.

The seat has it's own seat belts and 2 arm rests.

The only thing on the floor when you remove the seat are 4 super hardened u bolts (upside down) that stick up about an inch. As this is the bottom of the U, they are smooth and rounded so I slide cargo right over them.

I actual threads and nuts point down through the floor.

I hope that gives a good idea. I did this for my Tahoe as well. I can now interchange them.

Hope that helps.
