Bucket seat interchangeably?

The holes were put in by gm for the captains chairs. If you try to put a tahoe seat in a suburban, you have to shift the seat frame on the bottom. There are 2 sets of holes !!!

Tahoes and suburbans are the exact same width. Which is the same width as the trucks.

Across the 400 body style, the vehicles are the same length from the cowl to about a foot back of the front door's rear edge, too.
GM wasn't one to create individual idiosyncrasies within a line of like vehicles.
As a matter of fact, they went out of their way in order for their vehicles to share as many common parts as possible across all of their offerings.
Fewer parts bins = less chance of 'oops'. Less chance of the line being held up due to a shortage of a single, special, unique, model-specific part.
Uniform conformity of design & assembly is the name of their game.

Not like that Blue Oval crew where the vehicle's serial number has to be supplied when purchasing parts (Ford partsmen...Grrr! Dog f*ck*rs of the world) just due to the running changes that they made/make within the model's production run.
"I'd like XXXX for a '68 Mustang."
"What month was it built? September, January or April?
"???"
"Well...I have 3 different part numbers for that & they are all located/mounted/installed differently. Computer says that we only have the later. You could make the later fit the early versions, but you'll need this, that & those, plus these to make it work.
Y'know, those parts are more expensive than just that single first design your vehicle came with. I could bring that early style in for you. I see two available but the nearest is 3500 miles way. It'll be here in 10 days, maybe, & I'll need payment in full, up front, 'cause it's a special order part."
