97' Split Bench to Power Buckets Swap

[sbc2008]

I have two 96-00' Power Bucket Seats without the the bracket/tracks. How can I convert to these from my non-powered Split Bench? It does have Power Lumbar, but I don't know if that helps in the swap lol.

No easy way to convert the driver's side of your 95-up 60/40 to the driver's bucket, but you should be able to swap the passenger side brackets pretty easily, since the 95-up just uses what essentially amounts to a bucket without an armrest.

For the driver's side you're gonna need the appropriate bucket seat brackets with the motors and stuff attached.

BTW your truck looks damn sharp, nice stance, and those Boyds.. Magneato? Was that the style name? Almost bought a set of those for a previous truck a while back but went with the Boyd Fury's instead.

There isn't a split between the passenger and drivers seat....it's practically a bench seat with a folding center piece.

I don't remember what style the Boyds were...I got em about 2 years ago lol.

Ah yeah, you don't have a 60/40, you've got what I call a "bucket bench" dunno what GM called it. Straight across bottom seat, with split backs. You'll see these a lot as rear seats in the 95-up crew cabs.

OK, so scratch what I said about using your passenger side bracket, your seat isn't really a split bench. It's just got the four regular bench mounting points, completely useless to you the particular job you need to do. You're gonna need the bucket brackets for both sides.

You ever make it to Houston? I might have some trashed buckets here I could rob the brackets from; maybe even work some kind of trade if you're not gonna keep your old seat?

I can do that. I just moved down here, but I've have plans to visit Houston. I'll probably be there alot since I can get there in just over 2 hours from here. I used to live in North Shore and Pasadena, so I'm pretty familiar with Houston.
