Here is the back seat that is in the '54 GMC I just brought home.

It is mounted on 2X12s.

I suspect this is the wrong seat for a '54. Is this from a Task Force era burb?

Looks like a 60-66 3rd seat. Someone will be happy to buy it from you. Me, I've already got two!

That's from the 60/66 series but not exactly sure which years it fits. Some of those years did not use the mounting frame as you have, they used a track. I also believe that the GMC and Chevrolet were different depending on year. I have a set without the mounting frame and was told it was not for the 1960/61 Chevrolet. I am hoping this question gets resolved and archived, it's a common question. Maybe RJ or COLLETESBRO can answer this.

Is there a GM part # on those 2x12s?
Those could be the rare,54GMC Suburban ONLY seat mounting rails.

x2

That seat will also work as a full-width middle seat for a 2-seat Suburban. At least on '60-'62. I've got a '62 with solid rear windows, sliding middle windows. It has both sets of mounts in the floor for the abbreviated middle seat in a 3-row situation, and the full-width seat for a 2-row.
The guy I bought it from didn't realize his '61 had the same mounts, until I pointed that out to him--AFTER the seat frame was in the back of my truck! grin
Poor guy is probably still hauling his kids around on a short middle seat.
