Is there any difference? I know the suburban seat riser is different so would the Panel version have shorter legs? Or, would it just sit higher.
I have a line on one for a burb, but hate to plop my money down if it's not going to fit.
Any Insight someone could share wouild be appreciated. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Jul 2001 Posts: 3,887 | the optional panel passenger seat was the same as a drivers seat ["bucket"], the burb passenger seat folded forward but should be adaptable

Oldsub posted some great pictures of the seats. You will have to scroll down to see them. It looks like he has two drivers seats. OLD SUBS PICTURES OF THE FRONT SEATS I sent you a PM. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 76 | I think I just looked at one today on ebay. I will look again and see if I can find it. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | I have what I believe is a correct pair of seats for my panel . I will see if I can shoot a few photos and post them. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 Cruising in the Passing Lane | | Cruising in the Passing Lane Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 320 | Thanks guys. I did find a set on ebay that had pictures of of the bottom with the hinges in place. I knew that the seat was supposed to fold and flip up towards the dash. I had seen the burb version years ago and thought that the panel would be more like that. So I was kinda surprised to see it's actually better looking.
I had thought about just using a drivers side, but didn't want to inhibit egress to the back.
I'm putting a post in the parts wanted should anyone have a passengers seat to part with. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 |

I think I have a clear idea now of what the passenger seat should look like. It's hard when you have nothing but memory and words. As the old saying goes, a picture is worh a thousand words. | | |
