Suburban Lou Shop Shark S Joined: May 2005 Posts: 215 Quartz hill	Hello all, just finished the bent tubing mounts to put a 50’ AD truck bench seat in my 49’ Suburban middle row I refuse to spend $800 on a frame with no cushions Question is, has anyone done this before? It looks good, but the back rest is a few inches high Also, for the mounting bolts that go into the keyhole slots, is this a t-bolt with wing nut? Does anyone have a size or part number for somewhere like fastenal? Thanks in advance! 1949 Chevrolet 3100 Suburban Carryall "Bad Guy" In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix in Photobucket 1950 Chevrolet 3100 3-Window In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket 1966 GMC Suburban Carryall Custom "Big Guy" In the Stovebolt Gallery More pix on Photobucket
