I have installed bucket seats into my ‘86 Suburban I had someone else do it for me. They sit a little high, just as well I’m only 5’6”. With the rooof lining sag it feels a touch claustrophobic. So next will be the roof lining, in hindsight should have done beforehand.
I love the power seats and the colours.

For now get some upholstery pins,Walmart probably has them or a fabric/hobby store. Anyway they are like a thumbtack but instead of a straight pin they have a corkscrew pin,push them in and turn them,screw the fabric to the cardboard backing for now.

Thanks for the tip, I had thought of doing something like that, was worried about putting holes in the backing. Possibly reuse it.
