I’m picking up my squarebody on Saturday - woo hoo - and I need to find a third row seat for it. It’s an ‘88, it has the 3rd row option, notches and belts are there, but no seat. I’m wondering if the 2nd and 3rd row from a 2002 will work? I found those at a wrecker for cheap and they’re in good shape, just a bit dirty but no rips or tears.

Any input appreciated re:relative size, brackets etc. Looking forward to being a contributor here!

I own both styles. The 2nd row seats are 100% different in design, function and mounting. The 3rd row seats attach in a similar fashion, but I doubt the floor hooks have the same spacing. I've never actually compared them.

I had a GMT 400 (97) burb that I parted out. I had the same idea of trying to use the 2nd and 3rd row seats in my '91. No dice. It would have been a huge amount of fab to get them to work. On the 3rd row, the latches and hooks were in a totally different location.

I was afraid of that, was hoping something could be fabricated to retrofit but I guess that’s not as easy for rear seats.

Well, in that case I need to find a 3rd row seat. Worst-case I can overpay from eBay...

Thanks gents!
