I had called a guy locally who said he had some old seats potentially for a suburban. He was pretty sure it was for a second row. Anyway, it ended up being a drivers seat and third row.

did you ever look into welding/fixing the other sets you had??? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 65 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 65 | the chrome shop wanted to much to repair and straighten those ones but would be an easy fix if someone wanted to just paint them.

I was hoping for some of that luck myself for a while...than a guy recently called me and asked if I was interested in fronts still (have run ads for a while, looking).
He said he had athe front, and a "whole set" he pulled out years ago to make room in the 1950 he had.
When I finally found out what he was calling a "set"...it's the rear, middle AND both fronts!!
...pictures should get to me soon!

Are those trims a one-of-a-kind deal or does the seller have more? | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 65 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 65 | I guess one of a kind as I had to hunt down a clean set of outer trim which is extremely hard to find and then have them straightened out and chromed which is extremely expensive. I think I spent around 1000 to get the 4 outer chrome trims.

| | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 83 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 83 | I bought a front driver's seat from a 63 GMC Suburban, the upholstery is long gone, the back frame is broken through where they all break, just below the driver's hip. My plane is to media blast them and powdercoat them.
