bench to bucket conversion

[mhuffmanintn]

I have a 1991 1500 short bed/cab with a bench seat and would like to put in buckets. will '94 GMC Jimmy buckets fit in a '91 1500? Found decent ones at a junk yard I could get and get upholstered but need to know if they will fit.

If the seats are coming out of a full size Jimmy, then yes they will fit. Need to drill 4 holes on either side of the tranny tunnel for the inner tracks to bolt through. Back 'em up on the inderside with some big washers, just so the bolts don't pull outa the floor. Sometimes the rear inner upright on the driver's side has to be modded some. Cut down & rewelded.

it's a jimmy on the s-10/sonoma platform

Those seats are pretty small, & will look really small in a GMT400. Sorry, I don't have any exp. putting that kinda seat in these trucks. Not saying that they won't work though. Personally, I would keep my eyes open for a set out of a Suburban or extended cab. They may cost a bit more, but the install would be a whole lot easier to do. There's lots of 'em out there.

I did this. I found it easier to drill holes in the inside rail of the driver seat to match the original holes rather than drill new holes in the floor. On the passenger side it is a must though.
